Hi guys,

i have installed it today on my old pc with 4 IDE drives:
1) 80 GB - installed NAS4Free OS
2)160 GB
3)160 GB
4)160 GB

i have managed to configure a raid 0 from this 3 HD's, and evereything is grate, but there is some strange problem

after i maped a network drive it show's in "My computer" 630MB Free of 987 MB

and it's not right coz i dont have that much of storage, in the "Disks|Software RAID|RAID0|Management"
i can see :" 457884MB UP "

so what should i do about the strage info

thanks for youre help !!!

Looks like you just see a 1GB USB stick instead of your share.

Did you create a mount point?

common error and widely disscuss to share entire pool or mount.

Correct way is to share a folder inside your pool or a folder in your mount or a dataset.

Eg:

bad share: /mnt/mypool

good Share: /mnt/mypool/Video or /mnt/mypool/Data
