One method of using additional drives added to SimpleShare is to simply use the additional disk to create new shares. This is

the easiest method and only requires claiming the new disk, creating one or more pools on the disk and finally creating share(s)

within the new pools. This procedure is for creating a basic unencrypted pool. If you want to create an encrypted pool, see

“Creating an Encrypted Pool” on page 85

In the

Disk Management

menu, click

Create New Pool

New Pool Name

, enter a descriptive name for the

pool.

To allocate all available disk space on SimpleShare to

the new pool, in

Pool Mapping Preference

select

Auto

Configuration

, then continue to

Step 5 on page 65

Selecting Auto Configuration automatically selects the

Maximum Size checkbox.
