NOTE Files in the local directory will be overlaid, but not overwritten,
when you import the remote directory. The local files will be
accessible again once you unmount the remote directory.
• Make sure that the client has permission to import the file system
from the server.
This requires an entry in /etc/exports on the server; see Step 3
under “Using the Command Line to Export a File System” on
page 395.
• Decide whether you want this mount to be (see “Deciding Which type
of NFS Mount to Use” on page 398):
— An ordinary NFS mount
— An automatically mounted NFS file system
— Mounted using Automounter
— Mounted using AutoFS
Use either of the following procedures to import a file system.
• “Using SAM to Import a File System” on page 399
• “Using the Command Line to Import a File System” on page 400
NOTE SAM does not currently support AutoFS. For importing using AutoFS,
please see Chapter 2 in the manual Installing and Administering NFS
Services.
