One CIFS Share with TWO File Systems

I was wondering if it was possible to hang two file systems off of one share.

My current situation is as follows

Share

\\servername\Share

Folder

\\servername\Share\Folder

I want to move that Folder to a new file system.  But I want to share to stay the same so that users wont have to create new shares and mapped drives.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks

    Is there any documentation or link you may have for nested file systems?

    just copy that folder to a new file system and re-create the share.

    take a look at nested file systems, it might help you accomplish what you are trying to do.

    Sorry, I guess I should have mentioned that I need to keep the original share as there are other folders in there

    I cannot just re-create the share as when I do this, it tells me the share name already exists, which is true because I need to keep the original share

    Is there a way to do this via the GUI and not via command line?

    Also can I set this up with two existing file systems with data on them, or just with new file systems?

    i have not set it up with file systems that had data, i am sure you can test it with a couple of test file systems.

    I went through the manual, and was not too clear at all

    Instead of using CLI, can I do it straight from Unisphere?

    Yes – everything that can be done in UniSphere can be done via the CLI - see the manual

    I recommend to go to Powerlink and download the complete VNX file documentation set
