share - make local resource available for mounting by remote systems
SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION
The
share
command exports, or makes a resource available for mounting,
through a remote file system of type FSType.
If the option -F FSType is omitted,
the first file system type listed in /etc/dfs/fstypes
is used as default.
For a description of NFS specific options, see
share_nfs.1m
pathname
is the pathname of the directory to be shared.
When invoked with no arguments, share displays
all shared file systems.
OPTIONS
- -F FSType
-
Specify the filesystem type.
- -o specific_options
-
The
specific_options
are used to control access of the shared resource.
(See
share_nfs.1m
for the NFS specific options.)
They may be any of the following:
-
- rw
-
pathname is shared read/write to all clients.
This is also the default behavior.
- rw=client[:client]...
-
pathname is shared read/write only to the
listed clients.
No other systems can
access pathname.
- ro
-
pathname is shared read-only to all clients.
- ro=client[:client]...
-
pathname is shared read-only only to the
listed clients.
No other systems can access pathname.
- -d description
-
The
-d
flag may be used to provide a description of the
resource being shared.
EXAMPLES
This line will share the
/disk
file system read-only at boot time.
-
share -F nfs -o ro /disk
FILES
- /etc/dfs/dfstab
-
list of
share
commands to be executed at boot time
- /etc/dfs/fstypes
-
list of file system types, NFS by default
- /etc/dfs/sharetab
-
system record of shared file systems

NOTES
Export (old terminology):
file system sharing used to be called exporting on SunOS 4.x, so the
share
command used to be invoked as
exportfs.1b
or
/usr/sbin/exportfs.
If
share
commands are invoked multiple times on the same filesystem, the last
share
invocation supersedes the previous--the options set by the last
share
command replace the old options. For example, if read-write permission was
given to
usera
on
/somefs,
then to give read-write permission also to
userb
on
/somefs:
-
example% share -F nfs -o rw=usera:userb /somefs
This behavior is not limited to sharing the root filesystem, but applies to all
filesystems.
