Table 29: NFS Settings Fields
Select this option to enable NFS.
Select this option to enable asynchronous writes.
When a client attempts to write data to the appliance, the appliance
sends the client an acknowledgment of the write request, before
actually writing the data to the disk. This enables the client to post
additional write requests to the appliance, while the appliance is still
writing data from the first request to disk, thereby improving
throughput.
Select this option to specify that write requests should be aggregated
and sent in a single batch, instead of one at a time. This improves
throughput.
Using External Volume Autosharing
By default, the appliance automatically creates a network share with read/write access for all
authenticated users, each time a new external drive is inserted. This is called external volume
autosharing. If desired, you can disable autosharing or modify the access control list for
automatically created shares.
Enabling/Disabling External Volume Autosharing
To enable autosharing
1 In the Configuration tab's navigation pane, click Share > Shares.
The Share > Shares page appears.
2 Click Autosharing.
