Displaying exported directories

You can display the exported directories and the NFS options that are specified when the directory was exported.

For NFS-Ganesha (GNFS), the output also shows the virtual IP address that must be used on the client to mount the GNFS shares for the shares that are exported from 'largefs' file systems.

To display exported directories

To display exported directories, enter the following:

NFS> share show

The command output displays the following columns:

First column

Displays the directory that was exported.

Second column

Displays the system that the directory is exported to, and the NFS options with which the directory was exported.

The command output displays the following columns:

First column

Displays the directory that was exported.

Second column

Displays the system that the directory is exported to, and the NFS options with which the directory was exported.

Third column

Displays the virtual IP address that must be used on the client to mount the GNFS shares of scale-out file systems.
