Buffalo LS-X1.0TL-EU [51/211] Disk quotas

Using your LinkStation

LinkStation User Manual 50

Disk Quotas

Notes:

• When using quotas, disable the recycle bin or empty the trash folder. The limited space includes

the space used for trash.

• Quotas apply per drive or per array. If a quota is set to 1 GB, each drive or array can use maximum

of 1 GB.

• Quotas can’t be set for external USB hard drives connected to the LinkStation, only internal drives.

• The LS-CHL LinkStation doesn’t support disk quotas in the US and the EU.

Disk space quotas for users

To limit the space of shared folders that each user can use, follow the procedure below.

Notes:

• Username and password must be the same one that the user logs into Windows with. If these

values are dierent, shared folders with access restrictions cannot be accessed.

• Deleting or adding users repeatedly may cause quotas to not work properly.

• Usernames should not contain the character “@”. Because of this, you can’t register a Windows

Live ID as your username. For Windows 8, use a local username instead of your Windows Live ID.

1 In Settings, navigate to Users/Groups - Local Users.

2 Click Create User.

1 Enter Username, User Id, Password, and Description.

Note: User IDs may be between 1000 and 1999. Do

not duplicate user IDs.

2 Check Enable for User Quota.

3 Enter the maximum space this user is allowed for

the Hard Limit (GB).

4 Click Save.
