Adding a Direct Volume
Setting CIFS Options
CLI Storage-Management Guide 8-5
By default, new volumes conform to the CIFS options at the first-enabled share. If
you try to enable another volume share that does not support one or more of those
options, the you get an error and the share remains disabled. You can then disable the
unsupported options (the error message tells you which ones) and retry the enable.
For an earlier view of all CIFS options on the filer, you can use the
show exports
command; refer back to “Showing CIFS Attributes” on page 5-13.
From gbl-ns-vol mode, use any combination of the following gbl-ns-vol commands to
manually set the options:
[no] named-streams
[no] compressed-files
[no] persistent-acls
[no] unicode-on-disk
[no] sparse-files
For example, the following command sequence disables named streams and sparse
files in the “medarcv~/test_results” volume:
bstnA6k(gbl)# namespace medarcv
bstnA6k(gbl-ns[medarcv])# volume /test_results
bstnA6k(gbl-ns-vol[medarcv~/test_results])# no named-streams
bstnA6k(gbl-ns-vol[medarcv~/test_results])# no sparse-files
bstnA6k(gbl-ns-vol[medarcv~/test_results])# ...
As another example, this command sequence reinstates named streams in the same
volume:
bstnA6k(gbl)# namespace medarcv
bstnA6k(gbl-ns[medarcv])# volume /test_results
bstnA6k(gbl-ns-vol[medarcv~/test_results])# named-streams
bstnA6k(gbl-ns-vol[medarcv~/test_results])# ...
