Using DFS commands and files

Sharing and unsharing

Any whole or partial filesystem can be shared with other machines using the DFS tools. The server machine must ``own'' the files in order to make them available, and is responsible for deciding on the validity of any requests from client machines. This topic describes the tools supplied by DFS for carrying out these tasks.

Before you unshare a resource, using either the unshare or unshareall command, be sure you understand the effect of unsharing on existing mounts. For example, when you unshare an NFS resource, access to existing mounts is inhibited; for more information, see ``Using NFS on a server''.

Note that the commands described in this topic are located in /usr/sbin. Ensure your PATH variable is set properly to use these commands conveniently.
