You can define a share so that a specified directory is shared Now (current), At Boot, or both Now and At Boot.
It is possible, therefore, to create a situation in which the properties for sharing At Boot are different from those for sharing Now. When this happens, the Mounts/Shares tool displays a Share Status of **In Conflict**.
In most cases, it is desirable to keep your shares in synch, so that shares Now and At Boot share the same properties.
In the Mounts/Shares tool, when you double-click a share, the Share Properties dialog opens. If the share you double-clicked is in conflict, you are asked which set of share properties you want to view.
To resolve a share conflict, click the desired share, and then click Action->Resolve Conflict. You are asked which set of share properties you want to use; the properties you choose will then be used for both the Now and At Boot properties for that share.
Note: Solaris stores boot share properties in the /etc/dfs/dfstab table, and current share properties in a dynamic pseudo-table called /etc/dfs/sharetab. This latter table is generated by the share command, and should not be edited directly.
Also note that, on rare occasions, a set of At Boot properties may become invalid. This can occur, for example, if a share is defined At Boot with the WebNFS option disabled, but is then mounted At Boot with the WebNFS option enabled. If this happens, and you use the At Boot properties to resolve conflicts for the mount, the resolve conflict operation will fail. In such a case, use the Now properties instead.
