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 com-
       mand with limited functionality.

       mount.nfs4 is used for mounting NFSv4 file system, while	 mount.nfs  is
       used  to	 mount	NFS  file  systems versions 3 or 2.  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.


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
