This task requires you to have superuser permission on the local and

administration documentation or online help for your computer.

* On the remote system, export the disk volumes that you want
|
|
available by editing the ``/etc/exports'' file.
|
|
|
|
* On the local system, !!mount!! the remote disk volumes by editing
|
|
the ``/etc/checklist'' file, creating folders as mount points, and
|
|
then executing the ``mount'' command.
|
|
|
|
If you want the system listed in the Remote Systems folder, the mount
|
|
point must be ``/%%mount_point%%/%%hostname%%'', where %%mount_point%%
|
|
is the mount point specified by the DTMOUNTPOINT environment
|
|
variable. For example, if DTMOUNTPOINT is set to ``/nfs'', then the
|
|
mount point for remote systems must be ``/nfs/%%hostname%%''.
|
|
|
|
File systems mounted in other locations are not recognized as remote
|
|
systems. However, the user can navigate to them just as you can any
|
|
other folder.
