([DPSOH
The following example creates a new share called
library
:
FLIVVKDUHVDGGOLEUDU\YROYROKRPHOLE®1HZILOHOLEUDU\®
This example creates the library share and defines it as HOME\LIB (/home/lib in UNIX
notation) in the filer’s root volume. With the appropriate access rights, CIFS users can
gain access to the HOME\LIB directory in the root volume, which is displayed as the
library share on their computers. For more information about setting access rights,
refer to “Assigning and Changing Access Rights.”
9DULDEOH 'HVFULSWLRQ
GHVFULSWLRQ A string describing the purpose of the share. It must contain
only characters in the current code page. It is required by the
CIFS protocol and is displayed in the share list in Network
Neighborhood on the client. If the description contains
spaces, you must enclose it in single quotation marks.
JURXSQDPH The name of the group you want all files in the share to get
the group membership of.
Q The maximum number of users that you specify can con-
nect to the share at the same time. The limit on this number
is dependent on filer memory, and is shown in “Limits on
CIFS Open Files, Sessions, and Shares.”
SDWK The path name, relative to the root of the filer's file system,
of the root directory of the share.
NOTE: Because the
cifs shares
command is case-
sensitive, be sure that you use the appropriate case when
entering the path name. Separators used in the path name
must be forward slashes (/).
VKDUHQDPH The name of the share, which is used by CIFS users to
obtain access to the directory on the filer.
If sharename already exists, the
cifs shares -add
com-
mand fails.
