Default /etc/exports entries

/vol/vol0 and /vol/vol0 home are exported by default

By default, the root volume (/vol/vol0) and the /vol/vol0/home directory are exported to the administration host when you run setup.

Example of default exportfs file

The default /etc/exports file contains the following lines; in this example, the name of the administration host is toaster:

/vol/vol0 -access=toaster,root=toaster

/vol/vol0/home -root=toaster

The following table explains the contents of the default /etc/exports file:

/etc/exports entry Explanation 
/vol/vol0 -access=adminhost, 
-root=adminhost
Only the administration host (adminhost) can mount the root directory and modify files in the directory.

Note: On filers with a single volume, you can refer to the root directory without the /vol prefix.

/vol/vol0/home -root=adminhost
The administration host (adminhost) can mount the home directory as root. All other clients can access the home directory to read and write files.
