Mount the file system
Login to the Linux server as root
Create a mount point on the Linux server
cd /
mkdir /fs1
NFS mount this directory to the exported file system
on your Data Mover
mount data_mover_ip:/File _system_name /mount_point
mount 128.221.252.2:/EL_NFS1 /fs1
EMC CONFIDENTIALINTERNAL USE ONLY
32
Mount the file system
Verify the file
system
df h
cd /fs1
ls al
Note: By default a new directory is empty. Therefore, when you created
your /fs1 directory on the client it was empty. However, after NFS
mounting it to your Data Mover, /fs1 is now being redirected to a file
system showing lost+found and .etc (hidden) directories.
