nfsmount.conf(5)

NAME

   nfsmount.conf - Configuration file for NFS mounts

SYNOPSIS

   Configuration  file  for  NFS  mounts  that  allows  options  to be set
   globally, per server or per mount point.

DESCRIPTION

   The configuration file is made up  of  multiple  sections  followed  by
   variables  associated  with  that  section.   A section is defined by a
   string  enclosed  by  [  and  ]  branches.   Variables  are  assignment
   statements  that  assign  values  to  particular  variables using the =
   operator, as in Proto=Tcp.  The variables  that  can  be  assigned  are
   exactly the set of NFS specific mount options listed in nfs(5).

   Sections  are  broken  up  into three basic categories: Global options,
   Server options and Mount Point options.

   [ NFSMount_Global_Options ] - This statically named section defines all
          of  the  global  mount  options that can be applied to every NFS
          mount.

   [ Server "Server_Name" ] - This section defines all the  mount  options
          that  should  be  used on mounts to a particular NFS server. The
          Server_Name strings needs to be surrounded by '"'  and  be  an
          exact match of the server name used in the mount command.

   [  MountPoint  "Mount_Point"  ]  -  This  section defines all the mount
          options that should be used on a particular  mount  point.   The
          Mount_Point  string  needs  to  be surrounded by '"' and be an
          exact match of the mount point used in the mount command.

EXAMPLES

   These are some example lines of how sections and variables are  defined
   in the configuration file.

   [ NFSMount_Global_Options ]
       Proto=Tcp

          The TCP/IPv4 protocol will be used on every NFS mount.

   [ Server "nfsserver.foo.com" ]
       rsize=32k
       wsize=32k
       proto=udp6

          A  32k  (32768  bytes)  block  size will be used as the read and
          write size on all  mounts  to  the  'nfsserver.foo.com'  server.
          UDP/IPv6 is the protocol to be used.

    [ MountPoint "/export/home" ]
       Background=True

          All mounts to the '/export/home' export will be performed in the
                 background (i.e. done asynchronously).
