Mounting remote partition

Hello when I examined the partition information of one of our servers I saw the following:

10.20.5.2:/ha0/critical

Fstab has a similar entry. Seems that the server is accessing a partition on a remote machine.

What else is required to setup a partition that accesses a remote machine besides this fstab entry?

From the look of it: an NFS server.

You have to have the NFS server as well as the local setup to mount over the network.

Update

I see Mr Pludi has dealt me another blow.
