Folder, Printer, and Share Management NFS Compatibility Issues When planning to manage CIFS and NFS shares, consider two specific requirements. Note: Further information, including details about the NFS Service and the User Mapping service, is available in the "Microsoft Services for NFS" chapter. ■ NFS service does not support spaces in the names for NFS file shares. NFS translates any spaces in an export into an underscore character. Additional translations can be set up for files. See the "OEM Supplemental Help" chapter of the SFU help, found on the NAS server. This feature is designed to ensure the greatest level of compatibility with NFS clients, because some do not work with NFS exports that contain a space in the export name. If you plan to use the same name when sharing a folder through CIFS, and then exporting it through NFS, do not put spaces in the CIFS share name. ■ NFS service does not support exporting a child folder when its parent folder has already been exported. An NFS client can access a child folder by selecting the parent folder and then navigating to the child folder. If strict cross-platform compatibility is an administration goal, CIFS must be managed in the same way. Do not share a folder through CIFS if the parent folder is already shared. Managing Shares Shares can be managed through the Shares menu option of the WebUI. Tasks include: ■ Creating a new share ■ Deleting a share ■ Modifying share properties Each of these tasks is discussed in this section. Note: These functions will operate in a cluster but should only be used for non-cluster aware shares. Use Cluster Administrator to manage shares for a cluster. The page will display cluster share resources. Creating a New Share To create a new share: 1. From WebUI main menu, select the Shares directory and then select the Shares option. The Shares dialog box is displayed. From the Shares dialog box, click New. The General tab of the Create a New Share dialog box is displayed. 136 NAS 4000s and 9000s Administration Guide
