The correct answer is E. /acct. When a NetApp volume is mapped to a junction path from the Vserver's root, a Linux host mounts the Vserver's export and accesses the volume through that specified junction path.
Question
A volume is created named "new_acct" in a data vserver named vs2. A junction for this volume is created named "acct" from the root of vs2. This namespace will be mounted on a Linux host. What is the path that the Linux host needs to mount?
Options
- A/vs2/new_acct
- B/vs2/acct
- C/new_acct
- D/vol/vs2/new_acct
- E/acct

Why each option
When a NetApp volume is mapped to a junction path from the Vserver's root, a Linux host mounts the Vserver's export and accesses the volume through that specified junction path.
This path incorrectly combines the Vserver name with the internal volume name, which is not how junctions are presented to clients.
This path incorrectly includes the Vserver name as part of the client mount path; clients mount the Vserver's export, and then navigate the junction path.
This path uses the internal volume name directly, which is not the external client-visible junction path for mounting.
This path uses internal ONTAP volume path conventions ('/vol'), which are not exposed to external clients for mounting.
In NetApp ONTAP, a junction path integrates a volume into the Vserver's namespace, making it accessible through that defined path. Since the junction 'acct' is created from the root of vs2 for the volume 'new_acct', Linux clients will access the volume via the Vserver's root followed by the junction path, which is simply '/acct' from the client's perspective after mounting the Vserver's export.
