Mounting FlexVol volumes
You can use the Namespace window to mount FlexVol volumes to a junction in the Storage Virtual Machine (SVM) namespace.
About this task 
If you mount the volume to a junction path with a different language setting from the immediate parent volume in the path, NFSv3 clients cannot access some files because some characters might not be decoded correctly. However, this issue does not occur if the immediate parent directory is the root volume.
Steps 
1.
From the home page, double-click the appropriate storage system.
2.
Expand the Storage Virtual Machines hierarchy in the left navigation pane.
3.
In the navigation pane, select the SVM and click Storage > Namespace.
4.
Click Mount and select the volume to be mounted.
5.
If you want to change the default junction name, specify a new name.
6.
Click Browse and select a junction path to mount the volume.
7.
Click OK and click Mount.
8.
Verify the new junction path in the Details tab in the Volumes window.
