LABEL DESCRIPTION
Share Name Enter the name of the shared folder. The text may consist of 1 to 255
characters. See Appendix on page 44

Make This Share Owned
By
Select an owner for the share.
Enable This Share Select this to activate the share.
Enable Action Log Select to keep a log of all actions performed on files/folders in the share.
These actions include whenever anyone adds or removes a folder, and
reads, writes, or deletes a file.
Enable Recycle Bin Select this to create a recycle bin on the share. Whenever a user with
sufficient permissions deletes a file or folder, it is stored here until it can
be deleted permanently.
By default, the recycle bin is enabled. This ensures that any inadvertently
deleted data can be recovered. Because the NSA file system uses XFS,
the data recovery depends on the system administrator’s use of a volume
manager. As such, this feature is enabled automatically until explicitly
disabled in order to facilitate file restoration should the need arise.
Be sure to use the recycle bin configuration screen (Section 8.4.3 on page
194) to clear out the recycle bin periodically or else its host volume will fill
up and users will not be able to store any new files on it.
Share Access Choose whether the share is public or private, or choose Advanced to
open the Share Access Configuration screen.
