B.1 Disconnecting from Shared Folders

If you need to reconfigure the disks in your storage system or shut it down for any reason, all users should disconnect from the shared folders to ensure that the process proceeds smoothly. You might also want to have users disconnect from the shared folders if you want to change their access rights, since otherwise the change will not take effect until the user shuts down the computer.

The procedure for disconnecting from a shared folder varied, depending on the operating system used by the user.

Windows users

Windows users can disconnect from a shared folder using either My Computer or Windows Explorer, or the Storage System Console.

To disconnect from a shared folder using My Computer or Windows Explorer:

1.Close any files that you currently have open in the shared folder.

2.In My Computer or Windows Explorer, right-click the drive for the shared folder and then click Disconnect from the pop-up menu.

3.The shared folder should no longer appear in My Computer or Windows Explorer.

To disconnect from a shared folder using the Storage System Console:

1.Start the Storage System Console.

2.In the left pane, double-click the name of the storage system that contains the shared folder from which you want to disconnect. The storage system name will expand to display all the available shared folders.

3.In the left pane, select the name of the shared folder from which you want to disconnect, and then click “Unmap Drive Letter”.

Linux users

To disconnect from a shared folder using Linux, unmount the desired shared folder by entering the following command: “umount /my_directory” where my_directory is the name of the local directory. For example, if you mounted the shared folder using the following command: “mount 192.168.0.101:/nas/NASDisk-00002/public /my_directory” you would unmount it using the following command: “umount /my_directory”. If you included a longer path when mounting the shared folder (such as “/mnt/my_directory”), use the same path wen unmounting it.
