USB Volume Name and Access Rights Persistence Across Mount/Dismounts

The ReadyNAS Pro Pioneer Edition attempts to remember the name as long as there is a unique ID associated with the USB device so that the next time the device is connected, the same share name(s) will be available. Share access restrictions are not saved across disconnects, however.

Note: Even when access authorization is based on user login, files on a USB device, are saved with UID 0 regardless of the user account. This is to allow easy sharing of

the USB device with other ReadyNAS and PC systems.

Setting Up Printers

The ReadyNAS Pro Pioneer Edition device supports automatic recognition of USB printers. If you have not already done so, you can connect a printer now, wait a few seconds, and click Refresh to display detected printers. The print share name automatically reflects the manufacturer and model of your printer and is listed in the USB Printers section of the Print Queue service screen.
