Some specialized deployments may require the creation of special NFS and CIFS share entries that are ignored by QuantaStor. These unmanaged network shares will not appear in the QuantaStor web UI but can be setup manually to provide special access to appliances usually for integration with special 3rd party applications.

Custom NFS Exports

All custom NFS exports should be specified in the /etc/exports.custom file. The contents of this file are appended to the /etc/exports file automatically by the QuantaStor service. After making changes you can force the /etc/exports to update with a restart of the management service using service quantastor restart'.

Custom SMB Shares

The smb.conf file can be edited to include custom share entries. Note that any share with a path entry containing /mnt/storage-pools or /mnt/gluster-volumes will be managed by QuantaStor and may be removed automatically. Hence all custom SMB share entries must not use that in the 'path' specifier. To access a sub-path of an existing network share be sure to reference it under its bind point which is under /export/SHARENAME.
