# Manage Shares

After creation, you can view the list of shares that are associated with a Network File Storage cluster. You can also delete an existing one if it is no longer required.

To view the list of shares, follow these steps:

1\. In the **DCD**, go to **Menu** > **Storage & Backup** > **Network File Storage**.

2\. Select **Manage Shares** from the **OPTIONS** column to view the shares associated with the respective cluster.

Alternatively, you can also click on the cluster's **NAME** and select the **Manage Shares** tab in the **Manage shares** window.

## Mount an NFS share on a Linux machine

For mounting an NFS share, you need the IP address of the cluster and the UUID of the NFS share in the format `mount -t nfs <cluster-ip>:<share-uuid> <local-mount-path>`.

**Example**

* **IP address:** `10.7.228.5`
* **UUID:** `7b1ef56d-dfc6-51fe-aff0-7af2d6747868`
* **Format:** `mount -t nfs 10.7.228.5:7b1ef56d-dfc6-51fe-aff0-7af2d6747868 /my/local/folder`
