Basic question for making remote mount points
I'm on SunOS 5.8.

I'm not sure of the exact terminology, but I want to make a "remote mount" from my server to another server. (Basically I want to create one of the mount points on my server be a shared volume that's on another server here). So if I do a df -k, I want to see all of the volumes on the server, PLUS the volume I connect to on the other server.

How can I do this?

showmount

SHOWMOUNT(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 					      SHOWMOUNT(8)

NAME

     showmount -- show remote nfs mounts on host

SYNOPSIS

     showmount [-a | -d] [-e] [-1] [-3] [host]

DESCRIPTION

     The showmount utility shows status information about the NFS server on host.  By default it prints the names of all hosts that have NFS file
     systems mounted on the host.  See NFS: Network File System Protocol Specification, RFC 1094, Appendix A, and NFS: Network File System Version
     3 Protocol Specification, Appendix I, for a detailed description of the protocol.

     The following options are available:

     -a      List all mount points in the form:
		   host:dirpath.

     -d      List directory paths of mount points instead of hosts.

     -e      Show the host's exports list.

     -1      Use mount protocol Version 1, compatible with legacy servers.

     -3      Ignored for backwards compatibility.

SEE ALSO

     mount(8), mount_nfs(8), mountd(8)

HISTORY

     The showmount utility first appeared in 4.4BSD.

BUGS

     The mount daemon running on the server only has an idea of the actual mounts, since the NFS server is stateless.  The showmount utility will
     only display the information as accurately as the mount daemon reports it.
