Chapter 3 Getting Sarted Guide • Size: Enter the size for the volume, and then select the unit from the drop-down menu. The final size of the shared volume is less than the size you enter in this field due to filesystem overhead. The minimum volume size is 32 MB. Volume sizes are rounded down to the nearest 32 MB increment. NOTE: Once the volume is created, you can expand the volume but you cannot reduce its size. • To encrypt the volume, select Encrypted. To create an unencrypted volume, go to step 6. NOTE: You can encrypt the volume only when the volume is first created. After a volume is created, you cannot change whether it is encrypted or unencrypted. File transfer performance to encrypted volumes is generally lower than to non-encrypted volumes. 3. Enter a password in the Password field using a minimum of eight alphanumeric characters. The password must consist of at least three of the following: lower-case character, upper-case character, number (0-9), or a special character (such as #@*&^). The password must be entered to unlock an encrypted volume when the NSS is started up following a power interruption, shutdown, or rebooted, or, if the volume was manually locked through the NSS configuration interface. CAUTION: Because you need the password to decrypt a locked volume, keep a secure backup of the password to ensure that it is accessible when required. There is no way to unlock the volume without the password. (If the password is forgotten, the only way to retrieve the password is if the password was saved in a configuration file. See Chapter 7, "Working With the Administrator Options," in the Linksys Business Series Network Storage System Administrator Guide for help on this.) 4. Re-enter the password in the Confirm Password field. 5. Click Add. 22 Chapter 3: Configuring the Network Storage System (NSS) Step 5: Create a Volume
