MOUNT.NFS(8) System Manager's Manual MOUNT.NFS(8)
NAME
mount.nfs, mount.nfs4 - mount a Network File System
SYNOPSIS
mount.nfs remotetarget dir [-rvVwfnsh ] [-o options]
DESCRIPTION
mount.nfs is a part of nfs(5) utilities package, which provides NFS
client functionality.
mount.nfs is meant to be used by the mount(8) command for mounting NFS
shares. This subcommand, however, can also be used as a standalone com-
mand with limited functionality.
remotetarget is a server share usually in the form of server-
name:/path/to/share. dir is the directory on which the file system is
to be mounted.
Under Linux 2.6.32 and later kernel versions, mount.nfs can mount all
NFS file system versions. Under earlier Linux kernel versions,
mount.nfs4 must be used for mounting NFSv4 file systems while mount.nfs
must be used for NFSv3 and v2.
OPTIONS
-r Mount file system readonly.
-v Be verbose.
-V Print version.
-w Mount file system read-write.
-f Fake mount. Don't actually call the mount system call.
-n Do not update /etc/mtab. By default, an entry is created in
/etc/mtab for every mounted file system. Use this option to skip
making an entry.
-s Tolerate sloppy mount options rather than fail.
-h Print help message.
