DFS commands and files
The DFS Administration Utilities package installs several commands:
share, unshare, shareall, unshareall,
dfshares, and dfmounts. In addition to these commands,
DFS Administration uses a number of files and commands installed
by the other packages.
All the files and commands relevant to DFS administration
are described in this section. Files and commands that operate on all file
system types are described in this section only as they relate to
administering distributed file systems.
The DFS Administration files are:
-
/etc/dfs/fstypes, which registers the distributed file
system packages you have installed on your system and establishes the
default package (the first line in this file is the default package).
The fstypes file is created by the distributed file system
package you install first.
-
/etc/dfs/dfstab, which allows you to share a resource or a set
of resources automatically when you enter system state 3.
-
/etc/vfstab, which allows you to mount resources
automatically when you enter system state 3.
-
/etc/dfs/sharetab, which logs the resources currently shared on
your system. The sharetab file is created by the share
command and does not require handling by an administrator.
-
/etc/mnttab, which logs the file systems currently mounted by
your system, including remote file systems and directories. The
mnttab file is created by the mount command and does
not require handling by an administrator.
DFS Administration commands are:
-
share(1Mnfs),
which allows you to make a resource available for mounting by clients or
to display a list of the resources on your system that are currently shared.
-
unshare(1Mnfs),
which allows you to make a previously available resource unavailable for
mounting by clients.
-
shareall(1M),
which executes a script that shares a predetermined set of resources listed
in /etc/dfs/dfstab.
-
unshareall (see
shareall(1M)),
which executes a script that unshares all currently shared resources listed
in /etc/dfs/dfstab.
-
mount(1Mnfs),
which allows you to mount a remote resource on your system or to display
a list of resources, both local and remote, that are currently mounted on
your system.
-
umount (see
mount(1Mnfs)),
which allows you to remove a remote resource you previously mounted.
-
mountall(1M),
which executes a script that mounts a predetermined set of resources.
-
umountall (see
mountall(1M)),
which executes a script that unmounts all currently mounted resources.
-
dfshares(1nfs),
which displays a list of remote resources that are available to you, as well
as a list of local resources that are currently shared.
-
dfmounts(1nfs),
which shows you which local resources are mounted by which clients.
