Edit settings for your NFS file share

To edit the file share settings

1. Open the Storage Gateway console at https://console.amazonaws.cn/storagegateway/home.

2. Choose File shares, and then choose the file share that you want to update.

3. For Actions, choose Edit file share settings.

4. For File share name, enter a name for the file share.

5. For Audit logs, select one of the following:

   • To create a new log group for this file share, choose Create a new log group.

   • To send health and resource notifications for this file share to an existing log group, choose Use and existing log group, and then choose the desired group from the list.

   • To turn off logging for this file share, choose Deactivate logging.

   For more information about audit logs, see Understanding S3 File Gateway audit logs.

6. For Non-gateway file cache refresh time, choose Set refresh interval, and then set the time in Minutes or Days to refresh the file share's cache using Time To Live (TTL). TTL is the length of time since the last refresh. After the TTL interval has elapsed, accessing a directory causes the File Gateway to refresh that directory's contents from the Amazon S3 bucket.

   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.

7. For Upload events settling time, choose Set settling time, and then enter the settling time in seconds. Settling time controls the minimum delay between the most recent client write operation and generation of the ObjectUploaded log notification. Because clients can make many small writes to files in a short time, we recommend setting this parameter for as long as possible to avoid generating multiple notifications for the same file in rapid succession. For more information, see Getting file upload notification.

8. For Storage class for new objects, choose a storage class from the dropdown list. For more information about storage classes, see Using storage classes with a File Gateway.

9. Under Object metadata, do the following:

   1. Select Guess MIME type if you want to allow Storage Gateway to guess the media type for uploaded objects based on their file extensions.

   2. Select Gateway files accessible to S3 bucket owner, if you want the Amazon account that owns the S3 bucket to have full ownership of files created by the gateway, including read, write, edit, and delete permissions.

10. Select Enable requester pays if you want the file requester rather than the bucket owner to pay the cost of the data request and download from the S3 bucket.

12. For Access level, choose one of the following:

    • Root squash (default): Access for the remote superuser (root) is mapped to UID (65534) and GID (65534).

    • All squash: All user access is mapped to User ID (UID) (65534) and Group ID (GID) (65534).

    • No root squash: The remote superuser (root) receives access as root.

13. For Export as, select one of the following:

    • To allow clients to read and write files on the file share, select Read/Write.

    • To allow clients to read files but not write to the file share, select Read-only.

      Note

      For file shares that are mounted on a Microsoft Windows client, if you choose Read-only, you might see a message about an unexpected error keeping you from creating the folder. You can ignore this message.

14. When you are done editing settings, choose Save changes.
