Active Directory. Buffalo Tech TeraStation 5000

the TeraStation: info, spool, lost+found, global, printers, homes, lp, authtest, ram, msdfs_root, mt-daapd, usbdisk#

(where # is a number, for example: usbdisk1)

• Don’t use the following unsupported characters in shared folder names, workgroup names, or filenames:

• File and folder names may contain up to 255 single-byte characters.

• Configure hidden and read-only file attributes in Settings. Configuring them from within Windows is not supported and may cause unexpected behavior.

• Folder and workgroup names whose names contain non-Roman characters may not be displayed correctly.

• If shared folders are accessed from a Macintosh, information files for the Macintosh may be generated automatically.

Do not delete these files. If they are deleted using Windows, this may prevent further access from a Macintosh.

• If an SMB connection is used with OS X 10.3.9, the names of mounted volumes may appear as unreadable characters in Finder and other applications. This is not a problem with the filename or data.

• With OS X 10.5 to 10.5.6, Spotlight searches are not supported over AFP connections. Use SMB connections or upgrade to OS X 10.5.7 or later.

• The TeraStation belongs to the default zone in AppleShareServer; the zone cannot be specified.

• When files are copied to the TeraStation or to a USB drive connected to the TeraStation, file information such as date created, date modified, and other date information may be updated or changed.

• Hard drive capacity is shown in Settings in actual gigabytes. The Properties window in Windows may show GiB instead, which will be a smaller number.

• During a file transfer, if settings are changed, the file transfer operation may be aborted.

• File copying to the TeraStation is protected by a journaling file system. If the Ethernet cable is disconnected or a power outage occurs while copying data, the following may occur:

- Preset data such as the TeraStation name, users, and groups may be erased.

- An incomplete file may be copied and the file can no longer be deleted. If this happens, restart the TeraStation, delete the file, and perform the copy operation again.

• After a drive is formatted, the “% Used” and “Amount Used” in Settings will not be 0. This is because some drive space is used for the system area.

Active Directory

The TeraStation can join an Active Directory domain. Up to 1000 domain users and 1000 groups may be downloaded from Active Directory.

Note: If usernames or group names from Active Directory include multi-byte characters, you will not be able to configure access restrictions for them.
