Notice
Exports were replaced by Views in VAST Cluster 3.0.1.
NFS exports are directories in the NFS file system that are exported by the NFS server for NFS clients to mount like local directories.
By default, the NFS file system is undivided, with one default export at path '/'. Divide your NFS file system into a useful set of exported directories that reflects your organization's structure.
Tip
Use export policies to control which host IPs can access different exports.
From the menu (click
), select Configuration and then select the Exports tab.
Click

Complete the fields:

Description
Path
The path to the directory to export.
Alias (optional)
A shortcut that NFS clients can specify as the mount point instead of the full path.
Policy
The export policy that controls client access to the export.
Cluster
The cluster on which to create the export.
POSIX ACL
Enable this setting for full support of POSIX Access Control Lists (ACL). We recommend to leave this setting disabled if you are not using extended ACLs. By default, VAST Cluster supports the traditional POSIX file system object permission mode bits, (minimal ACL mode) in which each file has three ACL entries defining the permissions for the owner, owning group, and others, respectively. To learn more about POSIX ACL, see https://linux.die.net/man/5/acl.
Note
The
setfacl
Linux command is blocked if Posix ACL is not enabled.Create Directory
Creates the directory to be exported. By default, no directory is created. Enable this setting unless the directory was already created some other way, such as from the client side, inside a mounted parent directory.
