ReadyNAS 2100 User Manual
2-16 Managing Your ReadyNAS 2100
v1.1, June 2009
3. Specify the reserve space for a snapshot. Next, select the percentage of the volume you wish to
allocate for snapshots. You can specify 0 if you wish to disable snapshot capability, or you can
specify a percentage in 5 percent increments from 5 to 50 percent.
The percentage represents the amount of data you think changes while the snapshot is active.
This typically depends on how often you schedule your snapshot to occur (see “Snapshots” on
page 4-9), and the maximum amount of data (plus padding) you think changes during that
time. Make sure to allocate enough space for a worst case as the snapshot becomes unusable
when its reserved space runs out.
In our example, we selected 10 percent of the volume to be reserved for snapshots.
4. Specify the desired volume size. After you specify the volume parameters, enter the
appropriate volume size—if you wish to configure a smaller volume size than the maximum
displayed. The resulting volume will be approximately the size that is specified.
5. Click Apply, and wait for the instruction to reboot the system. It typically takes about 1 minute
before you are notified to reboot.
After rebooting, you are notified by e-mail when the volume has been added. Use RAIDar to
reconnect to the ReadyNAS.
RAID Settings
After you have added a volume, you can return to the Volume tab and click the RAID Settings tab
to display the current RAID information and configuration options for the volume.
Note: If you do not reserve any space for snapshots, the snapshot tab is not displayed
in the Volume tab.
