Verify/configure SNFS configuration file on K2 Media Servers

In this task you open the media file system (SNFS) configuration file and verify/modify settings.

Do this task if you access media on a K2 SAN and in the SNFS configuration file, WindowsSecurity is set to No. If you are not sure about the WindowsSecurity setting, proceed with this task to check the setting.

You can verify and, if necessary, modify the media file system (SNFS) configuration file and still keep your media file system intact if you carefully follow the steps in this procedure.

This task applies to the following devices:

  • K2 Media Servers with role of file system server. If a redundant SAN, you must do this task on both primary and backup K2 Media Server.
  1. On a K2 Media Server, using Notepad, open the media file system (SNFS) configuration file: The configuration file can be either D:\SNFS\config\default.cfg. or D:\SNFS\config\gvfs_hostname.cfg, where hostname is the name of the primary file system server (FSM).
  2. Locate the WindowsSecurity setting and proceed as follows:
    • If WindowsSecurity is set to Yes, skip the remainder of this procedure. Do not modify or save the SNFS configuration file.
    • If WindowsSecurity is set to No, continue with this procedure.
  3. On a K2 Media Server, verify, and if necessary modify, settings for required values as follows:
    # *********************************************************
    # A global section for defining file system-wide parameters
    # *********************************************************
    .
    WindowsSecurity                         No
    
    GlobalSuperUser                         Yes
    
    UnixDirectoryCreationModeOnWindows      0777
    UnixFileCreationModeOnWindows           0666
    .
    
  4. Close, and if necessary save, the SNFS configuration file.

If you made changes, the K2 system must be restarted for the changes to take effect.

If you made changes to UnixDirectoryCreationModeOnWindows and UnixFileCreationModeOnWindows parameters, to apply changes to existing assets you must delete and then re-create files and/or bins, such as HotBins.
