Filesystem
This type of device is used for any storage that is on the Final Cut Server server or can
be mounted from it. This is used for AFP, Xsan, NFS, and SMB/CIFS file systems.
Note: Although all of the fields appear, the file system determines which fields are
actually used.
To access the Filesystem device settings:
1 Click the Create button in the Administration window’s Devices pane to create a
new device.
2 Choose Filesystem from the Device Type pop-up menu.
The Filesystem Configuration pane for a Filesystem device type contains the
following items:
 Device Name: Enter a descriptive name for the device.
 Local Directory: Enter the root path for this device as it appears to the
Final Cut Server server. This path is seen as the relative root (/) when copying to the
device and all files under it will be accessible (for example: /Volumes/Macintosh HD/
Final Cut Server/shared/).
 Server URL: Enter the URL of the server. This applies only to nonlocal devices.
For Windows SMB/CIFS devices, enter the Uniform Naming Convention (UNC) root
path that includes the workgroup and user using the format:
smb://workgroup;user@servername/shared. You must also enter the user name in the
User field.
Note: Device Setup Assistant from the Final Cut Server System Preferences pane
includes a workgroup entry. You may find it easier to use Device Setup Assistant to
configure SMB/CIFS devices.
Important: Enter information into either the Local Directory field or the Server URL
field, never into both fields.
Choose Filesystem.
