8 Create a mount point for the file system. At the command prompt,
type:
mkdir -p <mount point>
chmod 777 <mount point>
where <mount point> is the directory path where you want the file
system to be mounted. For example:
/stornext/snfs1
9 Configure the file system to automatically mount after reboot. To do
this, edit the
/etc/fstab file so that it contains the following line:
<file system> <mount point> cvfs verbose=yes 0 0
where <file system> is the name of the StorNext file system and <mount
point>
is the directory path created in step 8.
10 Reboot the client system.
After reboot, the StorNext file system is mounted at the mount point
you specified.
Note: The fsnameservers file only needs to contain the name of
the MDC. For example, if the MDC is named
snserver, then
the
fsnameservers file should contain a single line with a
single word:
snserver
Note: To manually mount a file system, at the command prompt,
type:
mount -t cvfs <file system> <mount point>
where <file system> is the name of the StorNext file system and
<mount point> is the directory path where you want the file
system to be mounted.
