       gfsi - The Generic File System Interface

Description
       The  Generic  File  System  Interface (GFSI) is the interface between the kernel and specific file system implementations such as the local
       ULTRIX file system and the Network File System.	The Generic File System Interface has many performance improvements, along with a complete
       reorganization  of  the	file  system code.  The GFS interface has been accomplished with modifications to both the mount table, and to the
       inode, which under the GFS interface implementation is referred to as the gnode.  The gnode is defined in the and

       The GFS interface allows superusers to and file systems on local and remote machines.  Changes to the file allow any type of mount to occur
       automatically  at  boot	time  in the files and Other than mounting and unmounting file systems, users should not see any difference in the
       local file system.

       The GFS interface requires two system calls: and The system call handles generic mounted file system data.  The system call handles generic
       directory entries from any file system.

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 command 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. -s Tolerate sloppy mount options rather than fail. -h Print help message. nfsoptions Refer to nfs(5) or mount(8) manual pages. NOTE
For further information please refer nfs(5) and mount(8) manual pages. FILES
