Dell FluidFS NAS Solutions Administrator's Guide

Group departments that have similar security requirements into NAS volumes. The administrator creates three NAS volumes, one for NFS, one for CIFS, and another for mixed. The advantage is that the NAS volumes work separately between Windows and Linux. This solution has the following disadvantages:

• All files in a NAS volume are backed up.
• Unwanted services may be provided to certain departments. If a CIFS volume is created to backup data for the administration and finance departments, the press and legal departments also get backups even though they do not require it.
