Project and Share Properties
All projects and shares have a number of associated properties which can be set using the
BUI or CLI. For a list of property names and descriptions, click on one of these links:
Project and share properties can be one of the following types:
Table 111 Project and Share Property Types
|
|
|
Inherited properties, the most common property type, represent most of the
configurable project and share properties. Shares that are part of a project can
either have local settings for properties, or they can inherit their settings from
the parent project. By default, shares inherit all properties from the project. If a
property is changed on a project, all shares that inherit that property are updated
to reflect the new value. When inherited, all properties have the same value as the
parent project, with the exception of the mountpoint and SMB properties. When
inherited, these properties concatenate the project setting with their own share
name.
|
|
Read-only properties represent statistics about the project and share and cannot
be changed. The most common properties of this type are space usage
statistics.
|
|
Space management properties (quota and reservation) apply to both shares and
projects, but are not inherited. A project with a quota of 100G will be enforced
across all shares, but each individual share will have no quota unless explicitly
set.
|
|
Static properties are specified at filesystem or LUN creation time, but cannot
be changed once the share has been created. These properties control the on-disk
data structures, and include internationalization settings, case sensitivity, and
volume block size.
|
|
Project default properties are set on a project, but do not affect the project
itself. They are used to populate the initial settings when creating a filesystem or
LUN, and can be useful when shares have a common set of non-inheritable properties.
Changing these properties do not affect existing shares, and the properties can be
changed before or after creating the share.
|
|
Filesystem local properties apply only to filesystems, and are convenience
properties for managing the root directory of the filesystem. They cannot be set on
projects. These access control properties can also be set by in-band protocol
operations.
|
|
LUN local properties apply only to LUNs and are not inherited. They cannot be
set on projects.
|
|
Custom properties are user-defined properties.
