Note

Before unmounting a file system, you might first want to determine which processes are currently using it. See Displaying-all-processes-that-are-using-a-file.

To unmount a file system from MainView Explorer, place the cursor on the line of the file that you want to unmount, use the right mouse button to display the line commands, and click Unmount File System .

The following figure shows an example of the Unmount a File System dialog.

To mount another file system by using MainView Explorer, place the cursor on the File System Name column of any row in the FS View, click the right mouse button to display the line commands, and click Mount File System.

The following figure shows an example of the Mount a File System dialog.

Tip

You can also use the FSPACE or ZFFILSYS views instead of FS to mount or unmount a file system. The FSPACE view is more convenient for mounting a file system because you can navigate to the directory that is the mount point, and use the Mount File System line action to bring up a dialog with that mount point already keyed in.

The FS or ZFFILSYS views are more convenient for unmounting a file system by entering the Unmount File System line action on the file system to be unmounted
