 The ability to mount the file system for each File Fabric user may also be supported. Contact Storage Made Easy [[support@storagemadeeasy.com]] for more information.
+## Using the FS Provider with NFS
+The FS provider can be used to access NFS file systems through the File Fabric.  First the NFS file system must be mounted on the File Fabric host by the FileFabric's Linux system administrator.  Once it has been mounted, it can be added to the File Fabric using the FS connector.
+When mounting an NFS file system on the Linux host you may want to use a mount point like:
+    /mnt/NFS/<NFS_sharename>/
+That way you can have two or more NFS file systems in the same location in the directory tree.
