WARNING! Formatting hard drives erases all the disk contents,
including partition tables, logical volumes, and all shared folders and
subfolders and files. Perform this procedure only when it is safe to
proceed. When formatting a USB drive, only one partition is created and
the partition is formatted as FAT32. With FAT32, only 4 GB can be
copied for each file. If you try to transfer files that are larger than 4 GB,
you may encounter a Copy Termination error.

3. Click OK.

4. Do not disconnect the USB disk from the My Book World Edition until formatting

is complete.

To safely remove a USB drive:

Note: Whenever a USB device is disconnected without first being ejected or dismounted, there is a
risk of data loss or damage to the USB drive. With the safe remove disk option you can safely
remove any USB drive attached to the device.

1. On the USB Disks page, click the Safely Remove Disk icon

to the right of the

USB device name.

2. Click OK.

Quota

The Quota button on the Storage tab home page allows administrators to enable or
disable quota control for the device and set grace time and quota limits for each user.

Quota is used to limit the maximum storage capacity for each user. The accumulated
files or folders used in a volume for the specified user cannot exceed the quota
setting. Once the user data exceeds the quota, a 7-day (by default) grace period
commences. The user still can store up to 100 MB of additional data on the volume
within the grace period. When the grace period expires, the user cannot store
additional data on the volume until deleting the amount of data required to reduce the
total capacity used below the quota setting.
