your file system is already mounted, you just need to export it  server_export server_2 -Protocol nfs -option anon=0,access=yourhost,root=yourhost /root_vdm_1/fs_i386  Celerra allow you to mount subdirectories for exampel on your Linux box you would mount like this:  mount VNX:/root_vdm_1/fs_i386/i386  /mnt/local
I just finished moving my cif servers from our NS to a VNX. One the VNX we started using a VDM so I can setup replication back to the NS in our DR data center.   I'm trying to create the same NFS exports we had on the NS which are on file systems shared by the cifs servers, but those file systems are not listed as available to create a NFS export on.  Can I create a NFS export on a file system that is mounted on a VDM?  Thanks,jb
VDM file systems not listed for NFS exports?
