Disconnecting from shared folders
If you need to reconfigure the disks in your storage system or shut it
down for any reason, all users should disconnect from the shared
folders to ensure that the process proceeds smoothly. You might also
want to have users disconnect from the shared folders if you want to
change their access rights, since otherwise the change will not take
effect until the user shuts down the computer.
The procedure for disconnecting from a shared folder varied,
depending on the operating system used by the user. (Users who
connected to shared folders using FTP can disconnect simply by closing
the browser window.)
