Adding and removing mount configuration

Once a filesystem has been created (on the hard disk, floppy disk, or CD-ROM) or exported from a remote server, you must add the mount information to the system so that you can then mount and use the filesystem.

To add filesystem mount information, in the Filesystem Manager:

1. Select Mount Add Mount Configuration then select Local or Remote.

2. Select the appropriate filesystem:

   
   Local

   Select the filesystem device file from the pop-up list on the local system. If the device file does not appear in the list, enter the correct device in the ``Device File'' field.

   
   Remote

   Select the ``Remote Filesystem Type''. Choose the ``Remote Host'' and ``Remote Directory'' by entering the names or using the Select buttons.

3. Specify the filesystem parameters. See ``Modifying filesystem mount configuration''.

If you selected ``Now'' to mount the filesystem immediately, the Mount icon appears to the left of the filesystem name indicating that the filesystem is mounted.

To remove the mount configuration for a filesystem, select Mount Remove Mount Configuration and click on Yes at the prompt.

This removes the mount information from the /etc/vfstab file and the filesystem no longer appears in the Filesystem Manager list. If the filesystem is mounted, removing the mount configuration also unmounts the filesystem.
