- <H1>Filesystem Configuration</H1>
- <P>
- Under IRIX and other UNIX-based operating systems, disks and other
- secondary storage devices that can be added to a computer are managed as
- filesystems. When these devices are added to the computer, (in this
- case, the Internet Gateway server) they are assigned a special filename
- that allows users to access the stored data. Filenames are also applied
- to remote resources that are made available to the Gateway server, such
- as files offered by a personal computer (PC) or Macintosh computer using
- the Network File System (NFS) protocol. When a resource such as a remote
- storage device or NFS filesystem is accessible locally, it is said to be
- <EM>mounted</EM> on the local system. Resources on the Gateway server
- can also be made available to users on other computers on the network.
- When a local resource is offered to remote computers, it is said to be
- <EM>exported</EM> from the local system. </P>
- <P>
- It is not necessary to mount or export entire filesystems. Frequently a
- portion of the filesystem, such as a subdirectory is mounted or
- exported. </P>
- <P>
- You can configure filesystem mounting and exporting on the <EM>WebForce
- Internet Gateway</EM> using the following forms: </P>
- <UL>
- <LI>
- <A HREF="index.nfs1.shtml" TARGET="left">Export Filesystems Form</A>
- <LI>
- <A HREF="index.nfs2.shtml" TARGET="left">Mount Filesystems Form</A>
- </UL>
- <P>
- For additional information, see Chapter 2 of the <EM>ONC3/NFS
- Administrator's Guide</EM>, or the filesystems(4), exports(4), and
- fstab(4) reference pages. </P>
