mkdir -p <mount point> chmod 777 <mount point>
where <mount point> is the directory path where you want the file system to be mounted. For example: /stornext/snfs1
8Configure the file system to automatically mount after reboot. To do this, edit the /etc/fstab file so that it contains the following line:
