Modify Shared Folder
Overview
This function changes the shared folder settings.
Set the write privileges, Oplocks, hosts which are allowed or denied access, and CIFS access permissions to each shared folder.
This function can also change the home directory settings.
This function is used in a Unified Storage environment.
An error occurs when the total number of input characters exceeds the maximum (5120 characters). Confirm the used characters when this error occurs even if the total of input characters does not exceed the maximum. Note that a double quotation (0x22) and a single quotation (0x27) are regarded as being two characters.
If the shared folder modification has not been completed successfully, wait for the storage system status to return to normal and then try again.
If the settings for shared folders in the NAS user volume where a meta cache redistribution is being performed are changed, the process may be delayed for a maximum of two minutes.
The CIFS access permission is enabled from the next CIFS access session that is established after the permission is set. Note that if the CIFS access session is established before the CIFS access permission is set, the session operates with authority when this function is started.
