Hello,
I am a bit confused about the time settings in NASLite SMBG: GMT vs local time.
The documentation states on p.6:
"Change Date and Time - Set NASLite-SMB computer date and time. Provided values must be GMT time."
I have followed the recommendation and set the NAS box to GMT, but the other computers are at GMT +1 (=our local time zone).
So now an Excel file (residing on the NAS box) I edited shows it was last accessed at 17:02, whereas locally, this was really at 16:02.
Occasionally then I have run into the following error messages when saving Excel files:
"The file "name.xls" may have been changed by another user since you last saved it. In that case, what do you want to do?
Save a copy?
overwrite changes?
OK, Cancel"
(I am not aware that anyone else on the network has edited that file in the meantime)
Since I have not had that problem before those files residing on the NAS Box, I concluded that this may be related to the difference in time setting.
For ftp access/ synchronisation, I could see a benefit working GMT based, but is there any reason to also do that on a LAN for SMBG?
Any hints? Please advise.
Thanks,
Thorsten Indra
P.S.: How does NASLite handle file-locking anyways? What would happen, if I opened, say an Outlook pst file (residing on a NASLite powered box) on two different computers at the same time - who would have write access?
