Network-based File Systems

Network-based file systems are file systems accessed over the network. Typically, network-based file systems reside on one system and are accessed by other systems across the network. NFS is the only available network-based file system.

NFS is the default distributed file system for Solaris. You administer distributed file systems by exporting them from a server and mounting them on individual systems. See "Mounting and Unmounting" for more information.
