| .TH NFSMOUNT.CONF 5 "9 Mar 2008" |
| .SH NAME |
| nfsmount.conf - Configuration file for NFS mounts |
| .SH SYNOPSIS |
| Configuration file for NFS mounts that allows options |
| to be set globally, per server or per mount point. |
| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| The configuration file is made up of multiple sections |
| followed by variables associated with that section. |
| A section is defined by a string enclosed by |
| .BR [ |
| and |
| .BR ] |
| branches. |
| Variables are assignment statements that assign values |
| to particular variables using the |
| .BR = |
| operator, as in |
| .BR Proto=Tcp . |
| Sections are broken up into three basic categories: |
| Global options, Server options and Mount Point options. |
| .HP |
| .B [ NFSMount_Global_Options ] |
| - This statically named section |
| defines all of the global mount options that can be |
| applied to every NFS mount. |
| .HP |
| .B [ Server \(lqServer_Name\(rq ] |
| - This section defines all the mount options that should |
| be used on mounts to a particular NFS server. The |
| .I \(lqServer_Name\(rq |
| strings needs to be surrounded by '\(lq' and |
| be an exact match of the server name used in the |
| .B mount |
| command. |
| .HP |
| .B [ MountPoint \(lqMount_Point\(rq ] |
| - This section defines all the mount options that |
| should be used on a particular mount point. |
| The |
| .I \(lqMount_Point\(rq |
| string needs to be surrounded by '\(lq' and be an |
| exact match of the mount point used in the |
| .BR mount |
| command. |
