Unable to Create a Share or Quota for a Volume
Problem Scenario: You cannot create a quota or share. When you attempt to create a share, the
volume does not appear in the Location field. When you try to create a quota, the quota is not
successfully added for the volume.
Resolution: The problem is likely caused by the volume being locked. An encrypted volume is
automatically locked whenever the NSS is rebooted or is manually locked through the configuration
interface. As long as the volume is locked, you cannot use the volume to create shares or quotas
(you can however, set up the Home Directory Location). To resolve the problem:
1. From the Manager Menu, click Storage Volumes.
2. If the problem is due to the volume being locked, the Unlock button appears next to the volume
in the Action column. Click Unlock.
3. Enter the password for the volume.
4. Click OK.
You should now be able to create a share or quota for the volume.
