| Information in the /etc/exports file Editing the
/etc/exports file |
|
This window enables you to view and edit the /etc/exports
file. The /etc/exports file contains a list of path names that the filer can
export and the hosts or subnets that can access them.
For each exported path, the window provides the following
information:
- The path name of the volume, directory, or file to be exported.
- The type of access for the specified hosts, which can be one of the following values:
- read only (ro)
- read and write (rw)
- The anonymous user identification number. If a request comes from a user with a UID of 0
(root user ID on the client), use UID as the effective user ID unless the client host is
included in the root option. The default value is 65534, which disables all root access. A
value of 0 grants root access to all clients.
- The comments associated with the exported path.
- The hosts and subnets that can mount the path, and the hosts and subnets that can mount
the path with root privileges.
The following list describes how to use the buttons in this window to create a new
exported path, modify information for an existing exported path, and delete an existing
exported path:
- Reload
- Reloads the existing /etc/exports file from the filer.
- Export All
- Exports all entries in the /etc/exports file so that clients can mount the
files immediately.
- Save
- Saves the changes to the /etc/exports file. Changes to the file take effect
after you reboot the filer.
- Insert Line
- Click anywhere in the display and click Insert Line to add a path to the /etc/exports
file.
- Add Option
- Click the appropriate path in the display and click Add Option to add a list of hosts
and subnets for the exports directory or file. You can specify up to 256 host names for
each directory with root and rw privileges. There is no limit to the number of hosts with
access privileges, provided that each line in the /etc/exports file has no more
than 1,024 characters. Use net groups for lists that would otherwise result in lines
longer than 1,024 characters.
- Modify
- Click the appropriate path in the display and click Modify to modify the information for
a path in the /etc/exports file, or click the host in the display and click
Modify to modify the information for the host that has access to the exported path.
- Delete
- Click the appropriate path in the display and click Delete to delete a path from the /etc/exports
file, or click the appropriate host in the display and click Delete to prevent the host
from having access to the path.
