Mounting a Remote File System
Chapter 14, “Managing File Systems,” described how to mount a local file system using the mount command. We’ll use the same mount command to mount a shared file system on a remote host using NFS. Here is the syntax for mounting NFS file systems:
mount -F nfs <options> <-o specific_options > <-O> <server>:<filesystem> <mount_point>
In this example, server is the name of the NFS server in which the file system is located, filesystem is the name of the shared file system on the NFS server, and mount_point is the name of the local directory that serves as the mount point.
As you can see, this is similar to mounting a local file system. The options are described in Table 22.3.
