Linking a fileset

After the fileset is created, a junction must be created to link it to the desired location in the file system's namespace using the mmlinkfileset command.

The file system must be mounted in order to link a fileset. An independent fileset can be linked into only one location anywhere in the namespace, specified by the JunctionPath parameter:
  • The root directory
  • Any subdirectory
  • The root fileset or to any other fileset

A dependent fileset can only be linked inside its own inode space.

If JunctionPath is not specified, the junction is created in the current directory and has the same name as the fileset being linked. After the command completes, the new junction appears as an ordinary directory, except that the user is not allowed to unlink or delete it with the rmdir command it. The user can use the mv command on the directory to move to a new location in the parent fileset, but the mv command is not allowed to move the junction to a different fileset.

For complete usage information, see mmlinkfileset command.
