Mounting Network Shares Using NFS

Edge Filer Administration > Sharing Local Files > Accessing Network Shares > Mounting Network Shares Using NFS

When NFS access is configured, use the following procedure to access network shares from a Linux/UNIX computer.

Run the following command: mount deviceIP:mountPath localFolder

Where:

deviceIP – The CTERA Edge Filer DNS namer or IP address.

mountPath – The network share's mount path.

localFolder – The name of the local folder.

Note: To view a network share's mount path, in the Share > Shares page, click the name of the network share. The Network Share Wizard's NFS (UNIX File Sharing) window displays the network share's mount path in title area.

For example, if the CTERA Edge Filer IP address is 10.1.1.1, the mount path is /shares/share9, and you want to mount this network share on the local folder /var/mnt/share9, the relevant command would be:

mount 10.1.1.1:/shares/share9 /var/mnt/share9
