NFSMOUNT.CONF(5) File Formats Manual NFSMOUNT.CONF(5)
NAME
nfsmount.conf - Configuration file for NFS mounts
SYNOPSIS
Configuration file for NFS mounts that allows options to be set glob-
ally, 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 state-
ments 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 op-
tions that should be used on a particular mount point. The
"Mount_Point" string needs to be surrounded by '"' and be an ex-
act 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).
