 ## Introduction
-The Enterprise File Fabric appliance allows a local folder, or file system, to be added as provider. This is particularly useful for network file servers and applications that can be mounted as file systems in Linux.

 ## Effective User
-File system operations are performed by the File Fabric as the Linux user who mounted the file system. Access permissions thus will be determined by both the Enterprise File Fabric and the network file system.

-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 Access Anywhere.  First the NFS file system must be mounted on Access Anywhere host by Access Anywhere's Linux system administrator.  Once it has been mounted, it can be added to Access Anywhere 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.
