NAME

pfs_exportfs - export and unexport directories to PFS clients

SYNOPSIS

/usr/sbin/pfs_exportfs

[ -a -u -v

][pathname ]

DESCRIPTION

pfs_exportfs makes a local directory or ﬁlename available for mounting over the network by PFS

clients. It is recommended that a command to invoke

pfs_exportfs at boot time be added to rc(1M).

pfs_exportfs uses information contained in the /etc/pfs_exports

ﬁle to export pathname (which

must be speciﬁed as a full pathname). The superuser can run

pfs_exportfs at any time to alter the list

or characteristics of exported directories and ﬁlenames. Directories and ﬁles that are currently exported

are listed in the ﬁle

/etc/pfs_xtab

With no options or arguments,

pfs_exportfs prints out the list of directories and ﬁlenames currently

exported.

Options

-a All. Export all pathnames listed in /etc/pfs_exports

,orif-u is speciﬁed, unexport all of the

currently exported pathnames.

-u Unexport the indicated pathnames.

-v Verbose. Print each directory or ﬁlename as it is exported or unexported.

WARNINGS

PFS is obsolete and no longer supported on any HP-UX release. Delivery of PFS interfaces will be discon-

tinued in the next HP-UX release.

PFS, from Young Minds, Inc. (now defunct), was originally adopted by HP to provide accessibility to Rock

Ridge Interchange ﬁle system format on CD-ROM ﬁle systems. The equivalent functionality is now pro-

vided via the HP-UX CDFS ﬁle system type and HP-UX’s standard ﬁle systems commands.

PFS has known functionality and performance problems. HP customers are urged to stop using the PFS

interfaces, including this interface,

pfs_exportfs . Customers should move to accessing all CD-ROM

ﬁle system formats by using the standard HP-UX commands, specifying the ﬁle system type as

cdfs.For

example, to mount a CD-ROM ﬁle system, use:

mount -F cdfs /dev/dsk/c0t0d4 /cdrom

There is no need to treat the cdfs ﬁle system type differently from any other ﬁle system type, therefore no

special daemons or commands are required to access the variety of CD-ROM ﬁle system formats.

See mount(1M) and mount_cdfs(1M).
