ReadyNAS user guide

This page contains information on the configuration and usage of ReadyNAS 3220 backup storage in IMS cellar.

Configuration

All new users should be created using the webinterface.

Create a new user

Create a home directory for user

Change folder ownership and add Samba share if needed

Enable Compression
Enable Continuous Protection
Enable access to snapshots

Enable SMB protocol
Enable access only to username and admin

Change Folder Owner to username
Change Foled Group to users
Enable access only to Folder Owner

Change user home directory

usermod --home /data/username username

Enable ssh access for user if needed

chsh -s /bin/bash username

In order to set the correct hostname enter the following command as a user into the shell. During firmware upgrades or similar procedures the hostname could default to storage, thus when adding a new user the sent email will have wrong links address.

hostname storage.ims.ut.ee

To give some user ssh access to the machine following command has to be used. This might default under rare conditions back to /bin/false

chsh -s /bin/bash username

All user should have their home directory in /data/username directory. This can be achieved using the following command

usermod --home /data/username username

All file permissions are handled with acl. Thus, editing them should be done from the webinterface. If for some reason interface does not have needed entries, then getfacl and setfacl commands should be used.

getfacl /data/folder # this lists the permissions

setfacl -R -m u:username:rwx /data/folder # this adds permissions for a user

setfacl -R -x u:username /data/folder # this removes permissions for a user
