MTAB(5) File Formats Manual MTAB(5)NAME
mtab - mounted file system table
DESCRIPTION
Mtab resides in directory /etc and contains a table of devices mounted by the mount command. Umount removes entries.
Each entry is 64 bytes long; the first 32 are the null-padded name of the place where the special file is mounted; the second 32 are the
null-padded name of the special file. The special file has all its directories stripped away; that is, everything through the last `/' is
thrown away.
This table is present only so people can look at it. It does not matter to mount if there are duplicated entries nor to umount if a name
cannot be found.

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.
