XigmaNAS

Dears,

I have installed the system latest version using CD burned copy, I mean the nas4free is booting from the same hard 120GB and its working but file manager showing 1.86 free space only while my hard is 120GB.
what is wrong in my installation ?

also when I create share folder for windows under the path /mnt/share/my folders also showing this space 1.86 GB.
when I copy any files the space (1.86) getting decreased.

how I can overcome this problem?

waiting your help..

one can use the same drive for boot and storage with a full instillation. it is not the "best" way.
a separate boot medium [fat format] and storage [UFS format] is the recommended method
if the hardware will not boot from a usb stick any old, small, Hdd or a flash cards with IDE adapters will do.
even the CD boot and a USB stick or floppy disk for the config will work
separate embedded OS and data storage is the best [safest] way
if you use a small Hdd for the embedded OS it can be set to spin down after boot

if you installed the "full" OS you are trying to store in the boot partition in error
since I have never used the full install I will leave it to others to explain setting up the storage partition.

Dear Armandh,

First of all thank you very much for your help and quick reply...

I viewed dozens of websites but I failed to find a solution so I reset the system to defualt settings and started configure it again, the result is different, the file manager dispaly free space 1.86 GB free in any folder but I can copy more than 1.86 GB. its strange but that way it works now.
I am sure of my settings, but as you told I did what is not recommended so I am facing such strange undocument problems.


Thank you again....
