Figure 3. volume info

the

icon tells us if the file system dir is mounted or not

we use the volume mount no icon

we use the volume mount yes icon

to locate the shared directory wew use the icon

This can be found under My Connections on Shared volumes and next to the corresponding volume

e.g. the dir in the example is

/data/appl/ok/swarmlab-venus/src-local/hybrid/connect/dLZWqFyPxyxOL1DiJ3xCHJhi6ziLK7MJ/volumes_client/dLZWqFyPxyxOL1DiJ3xCHJhi6ziLK7MJ_volumename

here we can place any files we want to share

This only works as long as the volume mount yes

is visible.

to disconnect we use the icon

that can be found in the My Connections on Shared volumes menu and next to the corresponding entry.

When disconnecting, only the connection is terminated and the actual data remains untouched.
