# Class CIM_Mount
extends CIM_Dependency

An association between a FileSystem and a Directory which indicates that the Directory is being attached to the FileSystem. The semantics of this relationship require that the mounted Directory be contained by a FileSystem (via the FileStorage association) that is different from the FileSystem referenced as the Dependent. The Directory's containing FileSystem could be either local or remote. For example, a LocalFileSystem on a Solaris ComputerSystem can mount a Directory from the FileSystem accessed via the machine's CDROM drive, i.e., another LocalFile System. On the other hand, in a 'remote' case, the Directory is first exported by its FileSystem, which is hosted on another ComputerSystem acting (for example) as a file server. In order to distinguish these two types of Mount, it is recommended that a CIM_Export association always be defined for the remotely accessed/mounted Directories.
