mount.nfs, mount.nfs4 - mount a Network File System
SYNOPSISmount.nfs remotetarget dir [-rvVwfnh ] [-t version] [-o options]
DESCRIPTIONmount.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.
mount.nfs4 is used for mounting NFSv4 file system, while mount.nfs is
used to mount NFS file systems versions 3 or 2. remotetarget is a
server share usually in the form of servername:/path/to/share. dir is
the directory on which the file system is to be mounted.
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.
-h Print help message.
version
Specify NFS file system version. Either nfs4 or nfs. If the
command is mount.nfs4 or the vfstype option of mount(8) command
is nfs4, then version 4 is used, else version 3 or 2 is used.
