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 section headers  followed
14       by variable assignments associated with that section.  A section header
15       is defined by a string enclosed by [ and ] brackets.  Variable  assign‐
16       ments  are assignment statements that assign values to particular vari‐
17       ables using the = operator, as in Proto=Tcp.  The variables that can be
18       assigned are the set of NFS specific mount options listed in nfs(5) to‐
19       gether with the filesystem-independant mount options listed in mount(8)
20       and  three  additions: Sloppy=True has the same effect as the -s option
21       to mount, and Foreground=True and Background=True have the same  effect
22       as bg and fg.
23
24       Options  in the config file may be given in upper, lower, or mixed case
25       and will be shifted to lower case before being passed to  the  filesys‐
26       tem.
27
28       Boolean mount options which do not need an equals sign must be given as
29       "option=True".  Instead of preceeding such  an  option  with  "no"  its
30       negation must be given as "option=False".
31
32       Sections  are  broken  up  into three basic categories: Global options,
33       Server options and Mount Point options.
34
35       [ NFSMount_Global_Options ] - This statically named section defines all
36              of  the  global  mount  options that can be applied to every NFS
37              mount.
38
39       [ Server "Server_Name" ] - This section defines all the  mount  options
40              that  should  be  used on mounts to a particular NFS server. The
41              "Server_Name" strings needs to be surrounded by '"'  and  be  an
42              exact match (ignoring case) of the server name used in the mount
43              command.
44
45       [ MountPoint "Mount_Point" ] - This section defines all the  mount  op‐
46              tions  that  should  be  used  on a particular mount point.  The
47              "Mount_Point" string needs to be surrounded by '"' and be an ex‐
48              act  match of the mount point used in the mount command.  Though
49              path names are usually case-sensitive, the Mount_Point  name  is
50              matched insensitive to case.
51
52       The  sections  are  processed in the reverse of the order listed above,
53       and any options already seen, either in a previous section  or  on  the
54       command line, will be ignored when seen again.
55

EXAMPLES

57       These  are some example lines of how sections and variables are defined
58       in the configuration file.
59
60       [ NFSMount_Global_Options ]
61           Proto=Tcp
62
63              The TCP/IPv4 protocol will be used on every NFS mount.
64
65       [ Server "nfsserver.foo.com" ]
66           rsize=32k
67           wsize=32k
68           proto=udp6
69
70              A 32k (32768 bytes) block size will be  used  as  the  read  and
71              write  size  on  all  mounts  to the 'nfsserver.foo.com' server.
72              UDP/IPv6 is the protocol to be used.
73
74       [ MountPoint "/export/home" ]
75           Background=True
76
77              All mounts to the '/export/home' export will be performed in the
78              background (i.e. done asynchronously).

FILES

81       /etc/nfsmount.conf
82                 Default NFS mount configuration file
83
84       /etc/nfsmount.conf.d
85                 When  this directory exists and files ending with ".conf" ex‐
86                 ist, those files will be used to set configuration variables.
87                 These files will override variables set in /etc/nfsmount.conf
