NAME

SYNOPSIS

9       mount.nfs remotetarget dir [-rvVwfnsh ] [-o options]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       mount.nfs  is  a  part  of nfs(5) utilities package, which provides NFS
13       client functionality.
14
15       mount.nfs is meant to be used by the mount(8) command for mounting  NFS
16       shares. This subcommand, however, can also be used as a standalone com‐
17       mand with limited functionality.
18
19       remotetarget  is  a  server  share  usually  in  the  form  of  server‐
20       name:/path/to/share.   dir is the directory on which the file system is
21       to be mounted.
22
23       Under Linux 2.6.32 and later kernel versions, mount.nfs can  mount  all
24       NFS  file  system  versions.   Under  earlier  Linux  kernel  versions,
25       mount.nfs4 must be used for mounting NFSv4 file systems while mount.nfs
26       must be used for NFSv3.

35
36       -w     Mount file system read-write.

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

42              making an entry.
43
