   • Mount and unmount requests
     
     
   • Lock and unlock requests
     
     
   • Read and write requests
     
     
   • Create and delete requests

   Notes

   By default, no events are logged. If recording activity logs to a text file, the log file must be on your local computer. To stop logging an event, clear its check box. If you choose to record Server for NFS activities in the event log, the string corresponding to the file name could be truncated due to a system limitation. One solution to this problem is to record activity logs to a text file. On a server cluster, we recommend that you record activities to Event Viewer because its data replicates to all the nodes in the cluster. In this scenario, recording activities to a text file in addition to the event log can help associate complete file names with a particular activity log entry.
