Configuring NFS Access
When Network File System (NFS) access is enabled, clients with certain IP addresses can access network shares on the cloud storage gateway as if the shares were located on the client's hard drive. For information, see
Mounting Network Shares Using NFS.
To configure NFS access:
1 In the Configuration tab, select Share > NFS Settings and configure the settings:
a Select this option to enable NFS.
b Select this option to enable asynchronous writes.
When a client attempts to write data to the cloud storage gateway, the cloud storage gateway sends the client an acknowledgment of the write request, before actually writing the data to the disk. This enables the client to post additional write requests to the cloud storage gateway, while the cloud storage gateway is still writing data from the first request to disk, thereby improving throughput.
c Select this option to specify that write requests should be aggregated and sent in a single batch, instead of one at a time. This improves throughput.
2 Click Save.
