4 nfsmount.conf - Configuration file for NFS mounts
6 Configuration file for NFS mounts that allows options
7 to be set globally, per server or per mount point.
9 The configuration file is made up of multiple sections
10 followed by variables associated with that section.
11 A section is defined by a string enclosed by
16 Variables are assignment statements that assign values
17 to particular variables using the
21 The variables that can be assigned are exactly the set of NFS specific
22 mount options listed in
25 Sections are broken up into three basic categories:
26 Global options, Server options and Mount Point options.
28 .B [ NFSMount_Global_Options ]
29 - This statically named section
30 defines all of the global mount options that can be
31 applied to every NFS mount.
33 .B [ Server \(lqServer_Name\(rq ]
34 - This section defines all the mount options that should
35 be used on mounts to a particular NFS server. The
36 .I \(lqServer_Name\(rq
37 strings needs to be surrounded by '\(lq' and
38 be an exact match of the server name used in the
42 .B [ MountPoint \(lqMount_Point\(rq ]
43 - This section defines all the mount options that
44 should be used on a particular mount point.
46 .I \(lqMount_Point\(rq
47 string needs to be surrounded by '\(lq' and be an
48 exact match of the mount point used in the
53 These are some example lines of how sections and variables
54 are defined in the configuration file.
56 [ NFSMount_Global_Options ]
61 The TCP/IPv4 protocol will be used on every NFS mount.
64 [ Server \(lqnfsserver.foo.com\(rq ]
73 A 32k (32768 bytes) block size will be used as the read and write
74 size on all mounts to the 'nfsserver.foo.com' server. UDP/IPv6
75 is the protocol to be used.
79 [ MountPoint \(lq/export/home\(rq ]
84 All mounts to the '/export/home' export will be performed in
85 the background (i.e. done asynchronously).
