Synopsis
mount_nfs [nfs_mount_options
] [-omount_options
]nfs_ server:pathname mount_point
Mounts Network File System (NFS) exports as filesystem volumes.
mount_nfs
can take a large number of options, most
of which offer knobs to tune the performance of NFS mounts. Only a
few are described in the following list; see the manpage for full
details.
Options
-
-b
After an initial mount attempt fails, forks off a background process to continue trying the mount.
-
-i
Makes the mount interruptible, so that processes failing to access the mount can be terminated, instead of getting stuck in an uninterruptible state waiting on I/O.
-
-K
Enables Kerberos authentication.
-
-m
Specifies a Kerberos realm to use with the
-K
option. Takes a realm name as an argument.-
-o
Takes
-o
options as listed in themount
manpage.-
-s
Makes the mount soft, so that processes failing to access the mount will eventually receive an error, instead of getting interminably stuck waiting on I/O.
-
-T
Enables the use of TCP as the underlying network transport protocol, instead of the default UDP.
-
nfs_server
The hostname or IP address of an NFS server.
-
pathname
The pathname of the NFS export you wish to access.
-
mount_point
The directory on which the filesystem will be mounted.
