View Shares

You can view a list of shares being managed by StorNext NAS. The list includes the number of shares, share name, share type, path, options, and host(s) associated with the share. You can also show information for a defined group of shares.

Caution

The Appliance Controller manages the smb.conf and /etc/exports files for StorNext NAS. Any edits you make directly to either of these files are lost when you restart the Appliance Controller, or when you make a change using any of the share commands.
When you make a change to an SMB share, its existing connection might be impacted and depending on the SMB client, it is possible to disconnect from that share.

Note: For a list of all the Appliance Controller commands, see the Command Index.

To view shares:

Enter:

share show [<share_name>] [<share_type>] [paged]

Note: Ensure that the file system you want to display is mounted. Otherwise, this command does not display any NAS shares, and the snnas_controller log file contains error messages.

The parameters are:

<share_name>

(Optional) The name of the share(s) for which to list information.

<share_type>

(Optional) The type of share, either nfs or smb, for which to list information.

paged

(Optional) Displays the output one page at a time.

This parameter allows ease-of-access when viewing a large number of managed shares.

Example:

> share show

Multi Protocol File Locking Support: Enabled
SMB global options:
   named streams = true
   server multi channel support = no
   server min protocol = SMB2_02
2 shares:
1: nfs1 | nfs | /stornext/snfs1/nfs1 | rw,sync,fsid=8000,nfshosts=*
2: smb1 | smb | /stornext/snfs1/smb1 | public = no,writable = yes

Example (NFS shared only):

> share show nfs

Multi Protocol File Locking Support: Enabled
1 shares:
1: nfs1 | nfs | /stornext/snfs1/nfs1 | rw,sync,fsid=8000,nfshosts=*
