Create a new share

To create a new share, enter the appropriate information in the following boxes:

• In the Share name box, enter the name of the new CIFS share. You can enter a maximum of 12 characters. If you enter the name of a share that already exists, the new information you enter for that share will overwrite the information for the existing share.

  CAUTION: Do not create shares whose names end with a dollar sign ($); doing so might cause conflicts with reserved names.

• In the Mount point box, enter the complete path name of the shared directory on the filer. Use the appropriate case when entering the path name. Use a forward slash (/) to indicate a path name separator.
• In the Description box, enter text that describes the purpose of the share. Enclose the entire description in single quotation marks if the description contains spaces. For example, to define a description of New file library, enter `New file library.'

  NOTE: Description is a required protocol feature. The description displays in the shares list in the Network Neighborhood when the share is displayed.
