Any whole or partial filesystem can be exported to an NFS client. The client either uses the mount command to access files on an as-needed basis, or adds an entry to the configuration file fstab. These techniques are respectively called ``explicit'' and ``automatic'' mounting. Once mounted, access to files is transparent, as they appear to be a normal part of the local filesystem. This topic describes the DFS tools used to carry out these tasks.
Note that the commands described in this topic are located in /usr/sbin. Ensure your $PATH variable is set properly to use these commands conveniently.
