Configure Global Settings for System
Services
File sharing protocols, for example, SMB or NFS, must be enabled for the ReadyNAS.
When enabled, some of the protocols can be disabled for specific shares, or require
additional configuration settings for individual accounts.
Basic File-Sharing Concepts
Network access to data stored on your ReadyNAS system is managed by file-sharing
protocols, which handle the transfer of data. For shares, you can enable several protocols.
For LUNs, the protocol is always iSCSI. (iSCSI is enabled by default.)
Global settings for file-sharing protocols apply to your entire ReadyNAS system. Share
settings for file-sharing protocols apply to individual shares.
When you enable a file-sharing protocol for an individual share, the protocol is also
enabled globally. When you disable a file-sharing protocol for an individual share, the
protocol remains enabled globally so that you can still access other folders that might
be using the protocol.
If a protocol is disabled globally, you can configure its settings for individual shares, but
the settings are not effective until you enable the protocol. For information about how
to configure and enable file-sharing protocols for individual shares, see Set Network
Access Rights to Shared Folders on page 71.
For best performance, enable only those file-sharing protocols that you use. Disable
the file-sharing protocols that you do not use to maximize system memory and improve
system performance. For example, if you do not use Linux or Unix computers to transfer
files to and from your ReadyNAS system, disable the NFS file-sharing protocol.
