Renaming volume
« on: June 25, 2010, 05:15:00 AM »

After trying a search (which is not very helpful - try upgrading your SMF to a newer version) and after going cross-eyed reading post after post, I have not found anywhere where it states definitively that you cannot rename the volume created by RAID.

Could an engineer please confirm this (or provide details on how to do this)

This would seem to be something rather easy to fix.

Thanks

There is a way to hack the volume name, but it requires you gain telnet access and change some of the Linux files.  I'd recommend just sticking with the stock volume name.

For what it's worth, I took the following steps to "rename" the volume without actually renaming it:

1. Create a subdirectory within the default Volume_1 that exists on the drive. I created the directory through the Advanced > Network Access area by browsing for a folder and clicking on the "new directory" icon.

2. Create a new network access setting to the new directory, setting the permissions according to your needs. In my case, the SMB share created looks like this:

NAS-01     Volume_1/NAS-01     ALL     [no comment]     No     No     R/W [Yes]

3. Remove the original share to Volume_1 from within the SMB list.

Now when you browse to the DNS-323 through Windows (or mount it in linux), it won't show Volume_1, but instead the name of your new share, in my case, NAS-01.

Hope that helps!
