Linux Users

To access a shared folder on a computer running Linux:
1. Create a directory by entering the following command at the command prompt:
mkdir /my_directory
where my_directory is the name of the directory.
Be sure to include the full path to the directory (for example,
/mnt/my_directory).
2. If desired, display a list of all the available shared folders by entering the following command:
showmount -e storage_system
where storage_system is the name or IP address of the storage system.
Note: You can use the storage system name only if that name is registered with a DNS server on
your network.
3. Mount the desired shared folder by entering the following command:
mount storage_system:/nas/NASDisk-00002/folder /my_directory
where storage_system is the name or IP address of the storage system, folder is the name of the
shared folder, and my_directory is the name of the directory that you created in step 1.
