Using Volumes, Shares, and Quotas 97
Shares and Exports
User access to volume space is done by sharing directories using NFS exports
and CIFS shares.

Managing NFS Exports

NFS exports provide an effective way of sharing files and data across UNIX/Linux
networks. NFS clients can only mount directories that have been exported.
To manage the NFS exports list, from the User Access tab, under Shares,
select NFS Exports. The NFS Exports page is displayed, and displays the list
of currently defined NFS exports.
