mounted through NFS are dependent on the type of file system

that was mounted from the server.</span></p>
|

<div class="section"><p>It is important to realize that requests performed on what appears
|
||
|
|
to be a local directory or file system are really operating on the server
|
||
|
|
through the NFS connection.</p>
|
||
|
|
</div>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><p>This client/server relationship can be confusing. Consider, for
|
||
|
|
example, that you mounted the QDLS file system from the server on top of a
|
||
|
|
branch of the <span class="q">"root"</span> (/) directory of your client. Although the mounted
|
||
|
|
file system would appear to be an extension of the local directory, it would
|
||
|
|
actually function and perform as the QDLS file system.</p>
|
||
|
|
</div>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><p>Realizing this relationship for file systems mounted through NFS
|
||
|
|
is important for processing requests locally and through the server connection.
|
||
|
|
Just because a command processes correctly on the local level does not mean
|
||
|
|
that it will work on the directory mounted from the server. Each directory
|
||
|
|
mounted on the client will have the properties and characteristics of the
|
||
|
|
server file system.</p>
