<title>GEOM Gate Network Devices</title>
<para>GEOM supports the remote use of devices, such as disks,
CD-ROMs, files, etc. through the use of the gate utilities.
This is similar to <acronym>NFS</acronym>.
<para>To begin, an exports file must be created. This file
specifies who is permitted to access the exported resources and
what level of access they are offered. For example, to export
the forth slice on the first <acronym>SCSI</acronym> disk, the
following <filename>/etc/gg.exports</filename> is more than
adequate:</para>
<programlisting>192.168.1.0/24 RW /dev/da0s4d</programlisting>
<para>It will allow all hosts inside the private network access
the file system on the <devicename>da0s4d</devicename>
partition.</para>
<para>To export this device, ensure it is not currently mounted,
and start the &man.ggated.8; server daemon:</para>
<screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>ggated</userinput></screen>
<para>Now to <command>mount</command> the device on the client
machine, issue the following commands:</para>
<screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>ggatec create -o rw 192.168.1.1 /dev/da0s4d</userinput></screen>
<screen>ggate0</screen>
<screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>mount /dev/ggate0 /mnt</userinput></screen>
<para>From here on, the device may be accessed through the
<filename role="directory">/mnt</filename> mount point.</para>
<note>
<para>It should be pointed out that this will fail if the device
is currently mounted on either the server machine or any other
machine on the network.</para>
</note>
<para>When the device is no longer needed, it may be safely
unmounted with the &man.umount.8; command, similar to any other
disk device.</para>
