NAME¶
nfsmount.conf - Configuration file for NFS mountsSYNOPSIS¶
Configuration file for NFS mounts that allows options to be set globally, 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 statements 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 options that should be used on a particular mount point.
The “Mount_Point” string needs to be surrounded by
'“' and be an exact 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.
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).
