To create a mount point, do the following:
1. Verify that you have the necessary permissions for the directory in which the fileset is to be mounted. If the directory resides in a DCE LFS fileset, you must have the w (write), x (execute), c (control), and i (insert) ACL permissions for the directory; if necessary, issue the dcecp acl show command to list the permissions for the directory. If the directory resides in a non-LFS fileset, you must have the w and x permissions for the directory.
2. Enter the fts crmount command to create a mount point for a fileset:
$ fts crmount -dir directory_name {-fileset {name | ID} | -global} [-rw] [-fast]
The -dir directory_name option is the location for the root directory of the fileset; the specified location must not already exist. However, the parent directory of the mount point must exist in the DCE namespace. Include a complete path name unless you want to mount the fileset in the working directory.
The -global option indicates that the mount point is for the root of the DCE global namespace. Do not use this option; it exists for backward compatibility with other file systems.
The -rw option specifies the type of the mount point as read/write. The Cache Manager accesses only the read/write version of the fileset. If the -rw option is used, the -fileset option must name the read/write version. Omit the -rw option to create a regular mount point.
The -fast option specifies that the existence of the fileset indicated with the -fileset option is not to be verified. By default, fts verifies the existence of the fileset and displays a warning if it does not exist. The command always creates the mount point, regardless of whether the fileset exists.
The following examples illustrate the creation of a mount point for a user fileset. Initially, only the user filesets named user.pat and user.terry are mounted in /.../abc.com/fs/usr.
$ cd /.../abc.com/fs/usr
$ ls
pat terry
The fts crmount command is used to mount the fileset named user.vijay at /.../abc.com/fs/usr/vijay. Because the -rw option is omitted, the fileset is mounted with a regular mount point.
$ fts crmount /.../abc.com/fs/usr/vijay user.vijay
$ ls
pat terry vijay
