17.2 Disk Management
The Disk Management icon allows you to configure disk management. The device
can operate as a disk manager for either internal disks connected through IDE, or external
storage devices connected through USB or FireWire. Your home-network's LAN devices
can share this storage device as a mapped network drive and exchange information
without directly accessing each other. The Web interface provides disk management
utilities such as partitioning and formatting.
An internal disk or a connected storage device appears in the Network Map (see Section 6
on page 65). You can view information about the disk by clicking its icon.
The device supports storage devices with FAT32, NTFS, and Linux EXT2/3 file systems.
These file systems have different sharing and security settings. If the connected storage
device or at least one of its partitions has the NTFS file system, a message appears in the
'Disk Management’ screen appears.
To configure disk management:
1. In the 'Advanced' screen, click the icon; the ‘Disk Management' screen appears.
Figure 17-5: Disk Management Screen
Note: To define a system storage area, the disk or at least one of its partitions
should be formatted. This storage area holds the data used by the device’s
services. For security, it is recommended to format the disk or its partition in
the EXT2 or EXT3 file system, although FAT32 is supported as well.
2. To enable disk management, select the ‘Enabled’ check box.
