sudo mount -t acfs fsname /Volumes/fsname (where <fsname> is the
name of the file system). The SNFS filesystem should now be
mounted on the OS X computer.
Creating the
automount.plist File 2In order to mount the StorNext file system whenever the Macintosh client
is rebooted, configure the automount.plist file. Xsan 1.4.2 uses the
automount.plist file to mount SAN volumes.
1Use the command vi /Library/Filesystems/Xsan/config/automount.plist
to create the automount.plist file.
2Copy and paste the text from the automount.plist template below into
the file you just created.
3Change Volume_name to the name of your mounted file system.
The automount.plist Template 2
Copy and paste the text from the following template into the
automount.plist file as described in step 2 above.
