Chapter 2: Configure Export Groups 12

Click Apply to save changes either since the last use of Apply or since the

dialog was opened. When you click Apply, the dialog remains open.

Clicking OK also saves changes, but closes the dialog.

NFS Exports Tab

This tab is used to configure the export records for the Export Group. An

export record specifies a PSFS filesystem or directory to be exported, the

NFS clients allowed to mount it, and the export options for the client.

You can type the export records directly on the form, optionally using the

Export Record Details window to construct the record, or you can import

an existing exports file.

Import an Existing Exports File

To import an existing file, click on Import from File and then select the

file, which must be on the local server that is running the Management

Console. The default Import location is the user’s home directory. When

you select the appropriate file, you will be asked whether you want the

records in the file to replace any existing records in the Export Group or

to be appended to the existing records.

Comments are preserved from the imported file; however, any blank

lines are removed. The continuation character (\) is also removed as this

character is not allowed in an export record.

NOTE: If an /etc/exports file existed on the server when MxFS was

installed, the file will have been preserved as /etc/exports.pre_mxfs.
