NAME

6       nfsmount.conf - Configuration file for NFS mounts
7

SYNOPSIS

9       Configuration  file  for NFS mounts that allows options to be set glob‐
10       ally, per server or per mount point.
11

DESCRIPTION

13       The configuration file is made up  of  multiple  sections  followed  by
14       variables  associated  with  that  section.   A section is defined by a
15       string enclosed by [ and ] branches.  Variables are  assignment  state‐
16       ments  that assign values to particular variables using the = operator,
17       as in Proto=Tcp.  Sections are broken up into three  basic  categories:
18       Global options, Server options and Mount Point options.
19
20       [ NFSMount_Global_Options ] - This statically named section defines all
21              of the global mount options that can be  applied  to  every  NFS
22              mount.
23
24       [  Server  “Server_Name” ] - This section defines all the mount options
25              that should be used on mounts to a particular  NFS  server.  The
26              “Server_Name”  strings  needs  to be surrounded by '“' and be an
27              exact match of the server name used in the mount command.
28
29       [ MountPoint “Mount_Point” ] -  This  section  defines  all  the  mount
30              options  that  should  be used on a particular mount point.  The
31              “Mount_Point” string needs to be surrounded by  '“'  and  be  an
32              exact match of the mount point used in the mount command.

EXAMPLES

35       These  are some example lines of how sections and variables are defined
36       in the configuration file.
37
38       [ NFSMount_Global_Options ]
39           Proto=Tcp
40
41              The TCP protocol will be used on every NFS mount.
42
43
44       [ Server “nfsserver.foo.com” ]
45           rsize=32k
46           wsize=32k
47
48
49              A 33k (32768 bytes) block size will be  used  as  the  read  and
50              write size on all mounts to the 'nfsserver.foo.com' server.
51
52
53        [ MountPoint “/export/home” ]
54           Background=True
55
56              All mounts to the '/export/home' export will be performed in the
57                     background (i.e. done asynchronously).
