Preparations

Log in to the Cloud File Storage console and navigate to the file system list page.

Instructions

Viewing File System Status and Usage

You can view the current file system usage and status on the file system list page. CFS also allows you to search for items by file system name, ID, VPCID, and IP.

Viewing a File System

Click a file system name on the file system list page to enter the file system details page, where you can view the basic information of the file system as well as information of its mount point and mounted clients.
Basic Information of the File System
The basic information of a file system includes its region, file system ID, name, file service protocol, file system status, and creation time. You can set the file system name on this page.
Mount Point Information
The mount point information of an NFS file system includes the network information, permission group, and recommended mount command. You can modify the file system permission group on this page.
Mounted Client Information
You can select the Mounted Clients tab to view the information of the clients where the file system is mounted.
Note
Client information display may have a delay of 1 - 3 minutes.
Snapshot Chain
You can manage and view snapshots under a file system on the file system list page.

Renaming a File System

On the file system list page, click the file system whose name you want to change, enter the file system details page, and click

on the right side of the instance name to make modifications.

Deleting a File System

When you no longer need a file system, you can locate it in the file system list and click Delete on the right to remove it.
Note
To avoid system exceptions on clients, please disconnect the file system from all clients before deleting it.
