Each line of the dfstab file consists of a share(1M) command. The dfstab file can be read by the shell to share all resources. System administrators can also prepare their own shell scripts to execute particular lines from dfstab. The contents of dfstab put into effect when the command shown below is run. See svcadm(1M). /usr/sbin/svcadm enable network/nfs/server share(1M), shareall(1M), svcadm(1M) 2 Feb 2005 dfstab(4)

NAME
shareall, unshareall - share, unshare multiple resources SYNOPSIS
shareall [-F FSType [,FSType]...] [-| file] unshareall [-F FSType [,FSType]...] DESCRIPTION
When used with no arguments, shareall shares all resources from file, which contains a list of share command lines. If the operand is a hyphen (-), then the share command lines are obtained from the standard input. Otherwise, if neither a file nor a hyphen is specified, then the file /etc/dfs/dfstab is used as the default. Resources may be shared by specific file system types by specifying the file systems in a comma-separated list as an argument to -F. unshareall unshares all currently shared resources. Without a -F flag, it unshares resources for all distributed file system types. OPTIONS
-F FSType Specify file system type. Defaults to the first entry in /etc/dfs/fstypes. FILES
