Mounting a Clone File System in the Control Directory (BUI)

This task enables you to mount a clone file system in the control directory. When you perform this task, the specified clone file system is unshared and unmounted from the current mount point. Then, the clone file system is mounted in the source file system's control directory and is shared only with its source file system.

  1. From the Shares menu, select Shares.
  2. Hover over the file system snapshot and click the edit icon image showing the edit icon.
  3. Click the lock icon image showing the lock icon next to Mountpoint.
  4. Click the use 'clonedir' box.

    When you click this box, the clone appears in the .zfs/clone directory. Note that this action does not affect the visibility of the control directory.

  5. Click APPLY to save the changes.

You can stop using the control directory for the file system share. Uncheck the use 'clonedir' box, specify the mount point to use in the mountpoint field, such as /export/demo_share, and click APPLY to save the changes.
