Not quite. On the remote server you don't need a new filesystem only to create a directory which (to use Windows terminology) you will 'share'.
Otherwise, yes, you've got it right.
Make sure to read the 'extra note' that I edited onto my previous post.
Restore is as I described.

Hi Gurus out there...
I am pondering over a situation where I have non-root access (user account), where I am trying to determine paths (including multipaths) on a host.
"luxadm display" seems very appropriate, but requires root access.
Is there anyway I can get the FC path information?

Hi !
I wonder if in solaris 10 there is a utility similar to ignite in HP-UX that backup entire file systems (/, /usr, /var, /tmp, /home).
I have to backup only the root disk of a server, but ufsdump seem to be backing up individual file systems....only, am I correct? (1 Reply)

share(1M) share(1M)
NAME
share - make local resource available for mounting by remote systems
SYNOPSIS
share [-F FSType] [-o specific_options] [-d description] [pathname]
The share command exports, or makes a resource available for mounting, through a remote file system of type FSType. If the option -F FSType
is omitted, the first file system type listed in /etc/dfs/fstypes is used as default. For a description of NFS specific options, see
share_nfs(1M). pathname is the pathname of the directory to be shared. When invoked with no arguments, share displays all shared file sys-
tems.
-F FSType
Specify the filesystem type.
-o specific_options
The specific_options are used to control access of the shared resource. (See share_nfs(1M) for the NFS specific options.) They may be
any of the following:
rw
pathname is shared read/write to all clients. This is also the default behavior.
rw=client[:client]...
pathname is shared read/write only to the listed clients. No other systems can access pathname.
ro
pathname is shared read-only to all clients.
ro=client[:client]...
pathname is shared read-only only to the listed clients. No other systems can access pathname.
Separate multiple options with commas. Separate multiple operands for an option with colons. See .
-d description
The -d flag may be used to provide a description of the resource being shared.
Example 1: Sharing a Read-Only Filesystem
This line will share the /disk file system read-only at boot time.
share -F nfs -o ro /disk
Example 2: Invoking Multiple Options
The following command shares the filesystem /export/manuals, with members of the netgroup having read-only access and users on the speci-
fied host having read-write access.
share -F nfs -o ro=netgroup_name,rw=host1:host2:host3 /export/manuals
/etc/dfs/dfstab
list of share commands to be executed at boot time
/etc/dfs/fstypes
list of file system types, NFS by default
/etc/dfs/sharetab
system record of shared file systems

Export (old terminology): file system sharing used to be called exporting on SunOS 4.x, so the share command used to be invoked as
exportfs(1B) or /usr/sbin/exportfs.
If share commands are invoked multiple times on the same filesystem, the last share invocation supersedes the previous--the options set by
the last share command replace the old options. For example, if read-write permission was given to usera on /somefs, then to give read-
write permission also to userb on /somefs:
example% share -F nfs -o rw=usera:userb /somefs
This behavior is not limited to sharing the root filesystem, but applies to all filesystems.
