mount -t cifs -o username=<USERNAME>\\\\<CLB>\\<SHARE NAME> /PATH/TO/
MOUNT/POINT
For example, you would enter the following to mount SHARE NAME “testfs_aau” on
ContentBridge “domain name” onto mount point “/mnt/omfs” using username “aau”:
mount -t cifs -o username=aau \\\\
domain name
\\testfs_aau /mnt/omfs
2. When prompted for a password, enter the password associated with the user name in the
ContentBridge configuration file.

To use NFS:
1. Type the following at the command prompt:
mount -t nfs <CLB>:/mnt/omfs/<CLD>/<USER_NAME>/omfs/<FS_NAME> /PATH/
TO/MOUNT/POINT
For example, you would enter the following to mount the file system “testfs” on ContentDirector
“director” via ContentBridge “bridge” using username “aau” onto mount point “/mnt/omfs”:
mount -t nfs bridge:/mnt/omfs/director/aau/omfs/testfs /mnt/omfs
You are not prompted for a user name or password.
