Library /sys$common/syshlp/tcpip$ucp_help.hlb MOUNT, Qualifiers, /ADF  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

       /ADF=CREATE
       /NOADF

    Optional. Default: /ADF=CREATE.

    If attributes data files (ADFs) exist on the NFS server, the /ADF
    qualifier lets you use them.

    The server uses ADFs to store OpenVMS file attributes. These
    files appear on the server as .$ADF$file files, but you cannot
    view them directly on the local client system.

    The option is:

    o  CREATE

       The client uses and updates the ADFs, and creates ADFs for new
       files.

    /NOADF - No ADFs are created or used.
