    There has been no change to the example between the TCPIP V5.4 ("new")
    and TCPIP V5.1 ("old") manual.

    A mount point can be lower down in the exported hierarchy than has been
    exported. In general you shouldn't export-out higher-up in the file-
    system structure than you need to for reasons of, for example, security.

    So to share the directory and its decendants DSA301:[BROWN.TEST]
    though you could mount /vmsdisk/brown/test with DSA301: exported as
    /vmsdisk, you probably shouldn't go there.

    Mapping isn't exporting.

    The recommended way of exporting DSA301:[BROWN.TEST] and its descendants
    has always been to map DSA301: and to export /vmsdisk/brown/test.

    TTBOMK, the only time you map a subdirectory is when you're implementing
    a Unix container share; and you additionally have to map the underlying
    disk or virtual disk.

    So to share the container filesystem & its descendants DSA301:[BROWN.TEST]
    you map DSA301: and DSA301:[BROWN.TEST] and in that order.

    Does that help?

    Understood. A whole lot of new terminology and concepts to grasp.

    says they've now scrapped it, so its probably not worth mastering.

    Same article says they're scrapping that too.
