Netgear RN31664E – ReadyNAS 316 6-Bay, 6x4TB Enterprise Drive Guía Del Software

RAID levels other than RAID 0 provide data redundancy used to detect, and in some cases correct, disk
read errors. Sometimes a read error is a one-time error, but other times, the data on the disk is no longer
reliable because of changes to the disk with age (disk bit rot). With bit rot protection turned on, when an
error is detected, the data is rewritten, which restores the reliability of the data, in effect restarting the clock
on the bit rot.

Bit rot protection is available for any folder stored on your ReadyNAS system. On higher-end models it is
on by default. Bit rot protection can slow the performance of a system and increase fragmentation, and so
is not on by default on lower-end models.

Starting in OS version 6.2, every account on a ReadyNAS owns a private folder. The content of your home
folder is not visible to the other accounts on the ReadyNAS (except the admin account). You can share the
ReadyNAS with other people while keeping content private.

You use it like any other folder on the ReadyNAS system. If you use a private Time Machine to back up a
Mac, that Time Machine is stored in your home directory. Snapshots, if used, of content within the home
folder are also within the home folder, with the same protection. Your home folder is created the first time
you log into the ReadyNAS system.

If a user account is deleted, the home folder for that account, and all of the content within it, is deleted.

You can view your folder by clicking Shares > Shares > Home Folders or Shares > Browse > home.

From the local admin page, you can create, modify, delete, and browse shared folders on your ReadyNAS.

After you create a volume (see 

 on page 31), you can create shared folders

on that volume.

Log in to the local Admin page.

Select Shares > Shares.
A list of shared folders and LUNs on each volume displays.
