Chapter 7 - Configuring Network Attached Storage
Create a Share
5.
The network address displayed for
Path
is the address of the share you are currently
configuring. The default path allows access to the root of the volume.
Note:
After creating the CIFS share, you can connect to it using your Windows-based
host and create subdirectories in the share. You can then edit the share and use
the
Path
field to allow access to specific directories by specifying the exact
subdirectory (see
).
For example, if you enter
/home/user
in the path field, any user that connects to
this CIFS share only has access to the “
user
” directory, even if the “
home
”
volume contains other directories.
Note:
If you use a path that starts with two slashes (for example \\path) you are unable
to edit permissions after the share is created.
6.
If desired, select
Read-only
to configure the CIFS share as read only.
7.
Click
Create
. The newly created share is listed on the CIFS Shares screen.
Set Permissions for a CIFS Share
When a CIFS share is created, the default permission is “Everyone”. This allows a user
creating the initial shares to easily set the proper permissions for additional users without
requiring the Active Directory Domain administrator password.
1.
Mount the new CIFS share to your Microsoft Windows operating system host.
