Understanding W-600 Series Best Practices and Exceptions

Only FAT16, FAT32, ext2 and ext3 partitions are supported.

For shared folders in an ext2/ext3 partition, the owner of the folder must be “nobody”. Otherwise clients will not be able to access the shared folder.

Unsupported partitions may exist on the NAS device; only supported partitions are mounted.

User authentication for file access is not supported. The same permissions are applicable to all users.

Sharing disks that contain errors may cause unpredictable behavior. Scan the disk for errors before mounting the disks to a W-600 Series.

Un-mount all partitions before disconnecting the disk from the controller.

Detection of devices connected to an external USB hub may be unpredictable.

A USB hard disk connected to the controller via an USB ExpressCard adapter is not supported.
