Click this button to create an additional RAID and automatically add its entire capacity to the existing volume. Security Models, SnapTrees, and Volumes Volumes and directories created on the root of a volume (aka SnapTree directories) are assigned either a Windows- or a UNIX-style security model. The security model determines the file-level security scheme that will apply to files and folders within the volume or SnapTree directory. New volumes default to the Windows-style security model. The security model of a volume determines the security model to which newly created SnapTree directory will default. Security models for a volume can be changed on the Security > SnapTrees screens.

Security Models, SnapTrees, and Volumes
Volumes and directories created on the root of a volume (aka SnapTree directories)
are assigned either a Windows- or a UNIX-style security model. The security model
determines the file-level security scheme that will apply to files and folders within
the volume or SnapTree directory.
New volumes default to the Windows-style security model. The security model of a
volume determines the security model to which newly created SnapTree directory
will default. Security models for a volume can be changed on the
Security >
SnapTrees
screens.
Volume Management Tools
The Snap Server offers several tools for monitoring and controlling how storage
space on a volume is used.
