3.6.3 Views with disks or subviews

Each view contains either subviews or disks, presented as subdirectories by the server. Subviews inherit volume name space and file name filter from their parent view. However, both properties can be redefined.
If a view contains disks, the volume name space specifies the appearance of the disk names, and the file name filter specifies the appearance of the disk names and their contents. The administrator can edit two lists specifying the disk set that appears in a view. One list contains all disks to be included. By default, these are all disks controlled by the server. The other list contains the disks to be excluded. By default no disks are excluded. Both lists contain disk name separated by spaces. Meta characters similar to the UNIX csh are allowed, e. g., "*" for all disks.
