Name | The name of the mount point object. Some names, such as "events" or "common," are reserved for Content Server use. |
Host Name | The hostname for the machine on which this directory resides. |
File System Path | The location of the directory or file represented by the location object. The path syntax must be appropriate for the operating system of the server host. For example, if the server is on a Windows NT machine, the location must be expressed as a Windows NT path. CautionBe sure that the combination of the host and path you specify does not point to the same physical location as any other file stores. If two file stores use the same physical location, data loss may result. |

The default value is Private. |
Unix Preferred Alias | Set to the directory name used to mount the directory. |

Windows Preferred Alias | Set to the alias drive letter used to mount the directory. For example, t:\ or k:\. |
