Creating and Mounting a Read/Write Fileset

To create and mount a read/write fileset, do the following:

1. Verify that you have the necessary privileges. You must be included in the admin.ft file on the machine on which the fileset is to reside, and you must be included in the admin.fl file on each Fileset Database machine or own the server entry for the machine on which the fileset is to reside. If necessary, issue the bos lsadmin command to verify the members of an administrative list.

2. Verify that you have the w (write), x (execute), and i (insert) ACL permissions for the directory in which the fileset is to be mounted. If necessary, issue the dcecp acl show command to check the permissions for the directory.

3. If necessary, enter the fts aggrinfo command to check the available space on the aggregate on which the fileset is to be created. (See Managing Filesets for a detailed description of the fts aggrinfo command.)

$ fts aggrinfo -server machine -aggregate name

4. Enter the fts create command to create the fileset:

$ fts create -ftname name -server machine -aggregate name

The -ftname name option is the complete name to be associated with the fileset being created.

5. Enter the fts crmount command to create a mount point in the file system for the new fileset. This makes the contents of the fileset visible to other users.

$ fts crmount -dir directory_name -fileset {name | ID}

The -dir directory_name option is the location for the root directory of the fileset; the specified location must not already exist. However, the parent directory of the mount point must exist in the DCE namespace. Include a complete path name unless you want to mount the fileset in the working directory.
