File system links make physical file systems accessible through the CNS. A file system link can be associated with either the root directory or a subdirectory. After creation, a file system link is displayed as a directory in the CNS. A network client navigating through CNS and into a file system link can see the contents of the directory.

Make sure that a root directory is created for the name space.
  1. Navigate to Configuration > File Services > CNS.
  2. From the more actions menu of the root directory, click New Link.
