Mounting Network Shares Using NFS

Use this procedure to access network shares from a Linux/UNIX computer, when NFS access is configured. For information, see Configuring NFS Access.

To mount a network share using NFS

• Run the following command:

  mount deviceIP:mountPath localFolder

  Where:

  • deviceIP is the appliance's IP address.
  • mountPath is the network share's mount path.

    	Tip
    	To view a network share's mount path, in the Share > Shares page, click the name of the desired network share. The Network Share Wizard's NFS (UNIX File Sharing) dialog box displays the network share's mount path in title area.

  • localFolder is the name of the local folder.

  For example, if the appliance IP address is 10.1.1.1, the mount path is /share/share9, and you want to mount this network share on the local folder /var/mnt/share9, the relevant command would be:

  mount 10.1.1.1:/share/share9 /var/mnt/share9
