the role.

Share and Storage Management
Share and Storage Management provides a centralized location to manage 
folders and volumes that are shared on the network: 
To create Server Message Block (SMB) shares, see "Creating Server Message 
Block Shares" on page 27.
To create the NFS shares, see "Creating the NFS Share" on page 40.
  NOTE: Volume operations are only available when Virtual Disk Service (VDS) 
hardware providers are installed on the solution. VDS is not supported on this NAS 
system.
File Server Resource Manager 
FSRM is a suite of tools for Windows Storage Server 2008 that allows 
administrators to understand, control, and manage the quantity and type of 
data that is stored on their system. By using FSRM, administrators can place 
quotas on folders and volumes, actively screen files, and generate 
comprehensive storage reports. This set of advanced instruments not only 
helps the administrator efficiently monitor existing storage resources, but it 
also aids in the planning and implementation of future policy changes. See 
"Creating Quotas and File Screens" on page 41.
Storage Report Management
The Storage Reports Management node of the FSRM MMC snap-in allows 
you to:
• Schedule periodic storage reports to identify trends in disk usage.
• Monitor attempts to save unauthorized files for all users or a selected 
group of users.
• Generate storage reports instantly.
