Manage Usb Storage Devices - NETGEAR RNDU4000-100NAS Software Manual

Manage USB Storage Devices

Use FrontView to manage USB storage devices that are attached to your ReadyNAS system.

To manage USB storage devices:
1. Choose Volumes > USB Storage from the FrontView main menu.
The USB Storage screen displays, showing information about any USB storage devices
that are currently connected to your ReadyNAS system.
If you currently do not have a USB storage device connected, a "No USB storage devices
detected" message displays.
A flash device displays as USB_FLASH_1, and a disk device displays as USB_HDD_1.
When you attach multiple devices, the device names use a higher device number, for
example, USB_HDD_2.
When a device contains multiple partitions, the partitions are listed beneath the main
device entry.
2. (Optional) To rename the USB storage device, enter a new name for the device in the field
in the Device column to rename the USB storage device.
The next time the same device is connected, FrontView uses the new name rather than
the default USB_FLASH_<number> or USB_HDD_<number> naming scheme.
3. (Optional) Select an option from the drop-down list, as follows.
• Disconnect. This option prepares the USB partition for disconnection by correctly
unmounting the file system. In most cases, you can safely disconnect the device
without first unmounting; however, the Disconnect option ensures that any data still in
the write cache is written to the disks and that the file system is correctly closed. The
Disconnect option unmounts all partitions on the device.
• Locate. If you attach multiple storage devices and want to determine which device
corresponds to the device listing, the Locate option causes the device LED to blink, if
the device is present.
