NAME

       fstab, mtab - list of file systems to mount, mounted file system table.

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/fstab

       /etc/mtab

DESCRIPTION

       /etc/fstab  is  a table of file system to mount at boot time, /etc/mtab is a table of currently mounted file systems as maintained by mount
       and umount.

       /etc/fstab is not read by mount as it should be.  It is instead a simple shell script listing the three devices that Minix needs  to  oper-
       ate:   The device names of the root file system, the temporary (scratch) file system, and the file system for /usr.  Of these only the /usr
       file system is mounted in /etc/rc, the scratch file system is there for the system administrator to test new kernels,  or  as  a  temporary
       file system.

       /etc/mtab contains lines of four fields.  The layout is:

	      device	directory    type    options

       These fields may be explained as follows:

       device
	      A block special device.

       directory
	      Mount point.

       type
	      Either 1, or 2, indicating a V1 or V2 file system.

       options
	      Either ro, or rw, indicating a read-only or read-write mounted file system.

FILES

       /etc/fstab     Shell script naming three important file systems.

       /etc/mtab      List of mounted file systems.

BUGS

       /etc/fstab is a joke.

MOUNT.NFS(8)						      System Manager's Manual						      MOUNT.NFS(8)

NAME

       mount.nfs, mount.nfs4 - mount a Network File System

SYNOPSIS

       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.

       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.

       Under  Linux  2.6.32  and  later  kernel  versions, mount.nfs can mount all NFS file system versions.  Under earlier Linux kernel versions,
       mount.nfs4 must be used for mounting NFSv4 file systems while mount.nfs must be used for NFSv3 and v2.

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.
