 NAME    [Toc]    [Back]
      pfs_exportfs - export and unexport directories to PFS clients

 SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]
      /usr/sbin/pfs_exportfs [ -a -u -v ] [ pathname ]

 DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]
      pfs_exportfs makes a local directory or filename available for
      mounting over the network by PFS clients.  It is recommended that a
      command to invoke pfs_exportfs at boot time be added to rc(1M).
      pfs_exportfs uses information contained in the /etc/pfs_exports file
      to export pathname (which must be specified as a full pathname).  The
      superuser can run pfs_exportfs at any time to alter the list or
      characteristics of exported directories and filenames.  Directories
      and files that are currently exported are listed in the file
      /etc/pfs_xtab.

      With no options or arguments, pfs_exportfs prints out the list of
      directories and filenames currently exported.

    Options    [Toc]    [Back]
      -a   All.  Export all pathnames listed in /etc/pfs_exports, or if -u
           is specified, unexport all of the currently exported pathnames.

      -u   Unexport the indicated pathnames.

      -v   Verbose.  Print each directory or filename as it is exported or
           unexported.

 WARNINGS    [Toc]    [Back]
      PFS is obsolete and no longer supported on any HP-UX release.
      Delivery of PFS interfaces will be discontinued in the next HP-UX
      release.

      PFS, from Young Minds, Inc. (now defunct), was originally adopted by
      HP to provide accessibility to Rock Ridge Interchange file system
      format on CD-ROM file systems.  The equivalent functionality is now
      provided via the HP-UX CDFS file system type and HP-UX's standard file
      systems commands.

      PFS has known functionality and performance problems.  HP customers
      are urged to stop using the PFS interfaces, including this interface,
      pfs_exportfs.  Customers should move to accessing all CD-ROM file
      system formats by using the standard HP-UX commands, specifying the
      file system type as cdfs.  For example, to mount a CD-ROM file system,
      use:

           mount -F cdfs /dev/dsk/c0t0d4 /cdrom

      There is no need to treat the cdfs file system type differently from
      any other file system type, therefore no special daemons or commands
