Click the lock when finished. In the Confirm Changes dialog box, click Update this copy to
save your changes.

Restart the computer to enable the static mount. You can also manually mount the NFS
volume in Terminal with the following command:

sudo mount_nfs : /nfs_reshares/

mount name>

7

Use the Sharing module in Workgroup Manager to share the NFS mounts as AFP share
points. The NFS mounts appear as normal volumes in the All list. ( You can also share the
NFS mounts using SMB and FTP, but it is recommended that you use only AFP.) You can
change privileges and ownership, but not enable quotas (quotas work only on local
volumes). However, if quotas are enabled on the NFS server, they should apply to the
reshared volume as well.

Managing Sharing

This section describes tasks you might perform after you have set up sharing on your server.
Setup information appears in “Setting Up Sharing” on page 221.

Turning Sharing Off

Because sharing is not a service, you cannot turn sharing on and off on a Mac OS X Server.
You can remove (stop sharing) individual share points or stop the file services clients are
using to access share points.

Removing a Share Point

To “remove a share point” is to stop sharing a volume or folder. You may want to notify
users that you are removing a share point so that they know why the share point is no
longer available.

To remove a share point:

1

In Workgroup Manager, click Sharing.

2

Click the Share Points tab and select the share point you want to remove.

3

In the General pane, deselect the “Share this item and its contents” option.

Any Protocols and Automount settings that you have configured for the item are discarded.
