USB-Sticks and USB hard discs

The IB-NAS2001-B can be extended with external USB mass storage devices, such as
USB-Sticks or USB hard discs. The IB-NAS2001-B so far supports up to 2 external
storage devices, since it has 2 USB 2.0 interfaces. If one of these interfaces is already
used for a USB Printer the IB-NAS2001-B supports only one USB mass storage device.

Supported file systems

As on the internal hard discs the IB-NAS2001-B supports EXT2, EXT3 and FAT32 on
external mass storage devices. The IB-NAS2001-B supports only one partition per mass
storage device. If the mass storage device has more than one partition, only the first
partition will be recognized.

USB access via Network

If any USB mass storage device with a compatible file system is attached to any USB
interface of the IB-NAS2001-B it will automatically be recognized and a share containing
the fist partition of the external USB mass storage device will be created and presented
to the network without any password restriction. The name of the share is
"usb<number>", where <number> is a number counted up from 1 in the chronological
order of attachment. So the USB mass storage device, which is attached first will become
the share "usb1" and the second "usb2".
How to set up your computer to access a share on the IB-NAS2001-B is described in
point "Mapping shares and Printers" on page 60.

Extensions

In difference to classical SOHO NAS systems, the IB-NAS2001 can be extended
approximately unlimited. Additional software packages can be installed using the
mechanism described in the following section.
