Partitions
If the external drive is partitioned, each volume will appear as one
share in the 5big Network (
Fig. 60
). By default, services (except FTP)
are activated. Added shares can thus be accessed in an Explorer
window (Windows users) or in a Finder window (Mac users,
Fig. 60
).
In
Fig. 61
, the volumes “LaCie1” and “LaCie2” (a) are volumes of
a partitioned external hard drive that is not connected to the 5big
Network, as indicated by the gray Status indicator (c) and italicized
text. The volumes “Scranton” and “Stamford” (b) are volumes of an
external drive that is currently connected, as indicated by the blue
Status indicators.
IMPORTANT INFO:
External hard disks must be formatted in one
of the supported systems in order to mount on the LaCie 5big Net-
work: FAT32, FAT, NTFS, HFS+, EXT3, EXT2, REISERFS or XFS.
Note that you can reformat external drives to the XFS file system using
the 5big Network web interface.
However, the following limitations apply: NTFS disks are read-only,
and FAT/FAT32 disks have file size limits (2GB and 4GB, respectively)
due to their file system limitations.
Ejecting External Disks
To disconnect an external hard drive from the 5big Network, simply
click the
Eject
button on this page (
