Displaying and changing share properties

Select your filer from Server Manager.

Display and change share properties as you would for a Windows NT server.

Example

The following figure illustrates how to display the properties of a share named specs. In this example, the comment and the number of allowed users are changed.

Enter the following command:

cifs shares [ sharename ]

sharename is the name of a share you want to display. If you omit sharename, information about all shares is displayed.

Result

For each share, this command displays the share name, the path name of the directory that is shared, the share description, and the share-level ACL.

Enter the following command:

cifs shares -change sharename { -comment desc | 

-nocomment } { -maxusers userlimit | -nomaxusers } 
{ -forcegroup groupname | -noforcegroup }

{ -widelink | -nowidelink } { -symlink_strict_security | 
-nosymlink_strict_security } { -vscan | -novscan }

{ -vscanread | -novscanread } { -umask mask | -noumask }

Specifying -nocomment, -nomaxusers,
-noforcegroup, and -noumask removes the description, the forcegroup, the maximum number of users, and the umask value, respectively, that you specified when you created the share.
