mount.nfs(8)

NAME

   mount.nfs, mount.nfs4 - mount a Network File System

SYNOPSIS

   mount.nfs remotetarget dir [-rvVwfnsh ] [-o options]

DESCRIPTION

   mount.nfs  is  a  part  of nfs(5) utilities package, which provides NFS
   client functionality.

   mount.nfs is meant to be used by the mount(8) command for mounting  NFS
   shares.  This  subcommand,  however,  can  also be used as a standalone
   command with limited functionality.

   remotetarget   is   a   server   share   usually   in   the   form   of
   servername:/path/to/share.   dir  is  the  directory  on which the file
   system is to be mounted.

   Under Linux 2.6.32 and later kernel versions, mount.nfs can  mount  all
   NFS  file  system  versions.   Under  earlier  Linux  kernel  versions,
   mount.nfs4 must be used for mounting NFSv4 file systems while mount.nfs
   must be used for NFSv3 and v2.

OPTIONS

   -r     Mount file system readonly.

   -v     Be verbose.

   -V     Print version.

   -w     Mount file system read-write.

   -f     Fake mount. Don't actually call the mount system call.

   -n     Do  not  update  /etc/mtab.   By default, an entry is created in
          /etc/mtab for every mounted file system. Use this option to skip
          making an entry.

   -s     Tolerate sloppy mount options rather than fail.

   -h     Print help message.
