share - make local resource available for mounting by remote systems
share [ -F FSType ] [ -o specific_options ] [ -d description ] [
pathname ]
SUNWcsu
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.
- -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.
This line will share the /disk file system read-only at boot time.
share -F nfs -o ro /disk
- /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

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.
