Linux Change Volume Size – Consult the documentation for your specific
Linux Distribution.
Change Size (MUW) – To change the size of a Multi-user Write volume, open the
TerraBlock Manager on a client system or the TerraBlock Server itself. From the
Change Volume window enter a new size for the Multi-user Write volume and click
OK. The size change can be increased or decreased (size reduction of volumes is
supported in version 6.x and above). The MUW volume size will change without un-
mounting at the server or clients. It is not necessary to assign a drive letter to the
MUW volume to resize.
When resizing a Multi-user Write volume, the volume must be
formatted NTFS. HFS+ formatted volumes must be resized on a Mac
client with iPartion while mounted Single-user Write. Decreasing the
size of Mac HFS+ volumes is not supported.
Decreasing the size of a Multi-user Write Volume must be performed
at the TerraBlock server.
There are limitations increasing the size of NTFS volumes created on
versions prior to 7.1. Volumes created on 7.1 do not have theses
limitations.
o A volume created 8000GB or less can only be expanded up to
8000GB.
o A volume created 16000GB or less can only be expanded up to
16000GB.
Decreasing the size of a Multi-user Write volume may take a long
period of time if contents or data must me moved and reallocated on
the virtual volume. Facilis recommends performing this action when
the server is not under heavy use, possibly end of day. Progress can
be monitored via Windows Disk Defragmenter.
An NTFS volume may not be decreased below half of the original
volume size. This is because of the location of the volumes bitmap
which cannot be moved.
Change DynaRAID - When changing DynaRAID protection level, the volume must
be un-mounted from all client workstations. Multi-user Write volumes must be
changed to Single-user Write to unmount from the server. Depending on the type of
change, the volume may only be available for Read-Only use for the duration of the
action. The DynaRAID protection process could take several hours for very large
volumes.
Internal Tandem volumes (utilizing groups 1&2 on the same 24D
server) must remain RAID5 protected.
Change Mount Type – This selection determines whether a volume will be
designated as a Single-user Write (exclusive write access) or Multi-user Write (full
read/write access by all users). In order to use the Multi-user Write feature for a
volume, the following must be configured properly:
