NAME

       nfsmount.conf - Configuration file for NFS mounts

SYNOPSIS

       Configuration file for NFS mounts that allows options to be set globally, per server or per mount point.

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  [  and  ]  branches.   Variables  are  assignment
       statements  that  assign  values  to  particular  variables  using  the = operator, as in Proto=Tcp.  The
       variables that can be assigned are exactly the set of NFS specific mount options listed in nfs(5).

       Sections are broken up into three basic categories:  Global  options,  Server  options  and  Mount  Point
       options.

       [  NFSMount_Global_Options ] - This statically named section defines all of the global mount options that
              can be applied to every NFS mount.

       [ Server “Server_Name” ] - This section defines all the mount options that should be used on mounts to  a
              particular  NFS  server.  The  “Server_Name” strings needs to be surrounded by '“' and be an exact
              match of the server name used in the mount command.

       [ MountPoint “Mount_Point” ] - This section defines all the mount  options  that  should  be  used  on  a
              particular  mount  point.   The “Mount_Point” string needs to be surrounded by '“' and be an exact
              match of the mount point used in the mount command.

EXAMPLES

       These are some example lines of how sections and variables are defined in the configuration file.

       [ NFSMount_Global_Options ]
           Proto=Tcp

              The TCP/IPv4 protocol will be used on every NFS mount.

       [ Server “nfsserver.foo.com” ]
           rsize=32k
           wsize=32k
           proto=udp6

              A 32k (32768 bytes) block size will be used as the read and  write  size  on  all  mounts  to  the
              'nfsserver.foo.com' server.  UDP/IPv6 is the protocol to be used.

        [ MountPoint “/export/home” ]
           Background=True

              All  mounts  to  the  '/export/home'  export  will  be  performed  in  the  background  (i.e. done
                     asynchronously).
