The HP NetStorage 6000 automatically generates a UNIX mount point at
the root of the file volume when you create the volume. Mount points allow
access to the system via the NFS protocol. By default, the mount point

must specifically grant access before UNIX host systems can mount the
volume. Host access rights to resources via the NFS protocol are managed
through the approve file.
