Yep, I was thinking of easily creating a directory (in the root of a volume) from the CLI or from the GUI. More like for the casual admin, not for the highly automated one (API, PowerShell, ...) Right where he would also create the volume/mount it in the namespace...
The fact that it has some extra capabilities (Quotas, security style change, oplocks, ...) is irrelevant for mounting.

I think the idea is you can easily make the qtree from ONTAP without having to mount the volume first, like in my first post. Not sure, but I think it requires something squirrelly to make a directory from ONTAP without it being a qtree

You would have to set the export-policy on the root volume to something that is writeable by a client. Mount the root of the cdot filer and create the EMPTY volume call vol. That is your place holder. Then, when "mounting" a junction in cdot, do something like: vol mount -volume share_01 -junction-path /vol/share_01 and it should work. I did this in a past job with hundreds of volumes so I can tell you it works. You just need to make sure your export-policies are set the way you want/need and be sure to limit the root volume export-policy when you are done. --tmac *Tim McCarthy, */Principal Consultant/ / / RHCE6 110-107-141 <https://www.redhat.com/wapps/training/certification/verify.html?certNumber=110-107-141&isSearch=False&verify=Verify>Current until Aug 02, 2016 On Thu, Mar 17, 2016 at 7:05 AM, Momonth <momonth@gmail.com <mailto:momonth@gmail.com>> wrote: Hi, I wonder if it's possible to employ 7Mode mount point behavior on cDOT NFS SVM? An example: 1. I create a volume "share_01" and by default it shows up as "toaster:/share_01". 2. I'd like to access it as "toaset:/vol/share_01" So, my question is how to add "/vol/" to its junction_path?
