Edit settings for your SMB file share - Amazon Storage Gateway
Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

Edit settings for your SMB file share

You can edit the following settings for an existing SMB file share:

  • File share name - choose a name for the file share

  • Audit logs - turn audit logs on or off

  • Existing log group list - choose an existing log group for audit logs

  • Non-gateway file cache refresh time - specify the interval at which to refresh the file share's cache

    Note

    Setting this value shorter than 30 minutes can negatively impact gateway performance in situations where large numbers of Amazon S3 objects are frequently created or deleted.

  • Upload events settling time - specify the number of seconds to wait after the last point in time that a client wrote to a file before generating an ObjectUploaded notification

  • Storage class for new objects - choose a storage class to use for new objects created in your Amazon S3 bucket

  • Guess MIME type - choose whether you want Storage Gateway to guess the MIME type for uploaded objects based on file extensions

  • Gateway files acccessible to S3 bucket owner - choose whether to make files on the gateway accessible to the Amazon account that owns the Amazon S3 bucket that is linked to the file share

  • Enable requester pays - choose whether to require accounts that read or request data from the file share to to pay for access charges, rather than the bucket owner

  • Export as - choose whether files are exported in read-write or read-only state

  • File and directory access controlled by - choose whether to use Windows ACLs or POSIX permissions to control file and directory access

  • Opportunistic lock (oplock) - choose whether allow the file share to use opportunistic locking to optimize the file buffering strategy

  • Force case sensitivity - choose whether the client or the gateway controls case sensitivity for file and directory names

  • Access based enumeration for files and directories - choose whether to make the files and folders on the share visible to all users during directory enumeration, or only to users who have read access

You cannot edit an existing file share to point to a new bucket or access point, or modify the VPC endpoint settings. You can configure those settings only when creating a new file share.
