Overview
You can create the file system and mount point on the file system page through the CFS console. How to create the file system and mount point is described in detail below.
Operation step
1. Enter the file system page
Log in to the CFS console and click File System List in the left sidebar to enter the file system list page.
2. Create a file system
Click Create to pop up the window for creating a file system. Configure the following information in the pop-up window. After the operation is correct, click OK.
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Region | Select the region where you want to create a CFS file system. |
| AZ | Select the availability zone for which you want to create a CFS file system. |
| Storage Class | Select the required storage type, general standard storage, or general performance storage. |
| File Service Protocol | Select the protocol type of file system, NFS or SMB. NFS protocol is more suitable for Linux/Unix Client, and CIFS/SMB protocol is more suitable for Windows Client. |
| Network Type | VPC - To share the file system with CVM under the virtual private cloud (VPC), you need to select the VPC when creating the file system. When the file system is a virtual private cloud, only CVM instances within the same virtual private cloud can be mounted if no special network settings are made. - If there is a need to share file systems across multiple networks, check Access File Systems Across Networks. |
| Permission Group | Each file system must be bound with a permission group, which specifies a set of accessible allowlist and read/write operation permissions. |
| Tag | If you already have a tag, you can add a tag for the new file system here; If you do not already have a tag, go to the tag console and create the required tag before binding it to the file system. Alternatively, you can add tags to the file system after it has been created. |
3. Access Mount Point Information
- After the file system is created, return to the file system list.
- Click the file system name that has been created. The Basic File System Information page is displayed.
- Click Mount Point Info to view and obtain the mount commands under Linux and Windows. It is recommended to copy the mount command provided by the console for mounting.
