If you want to create a folder to be shared by CIFS clients, do one of the following:
From Windows NT, use Server Manager as described in Creating a Share From
Server Manager.
From the filer command line, use the cifs shares command to define a new
share, as described in Creating a Share with the cifs Shares Command.
NOTE: By default, three shares are created during CIFS setup: C$, IPC$, and HOME.
In filer console displays, the C$ share corresponds in UNIX to /vol/vol0 and the HOME
share corresponds to /vol/vol0/home.
