NAME
       nfsmount.conf - Configuration file for NFS mounts

SYNOPSIS
       Configuration  file  for NFS mounts that allows options to be set glob-
       ally, 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  state-
       ments  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 op-
              tions that should be used on  a  particular  mount  point.   The
              "Mount_Point" string needs to be surrounded by '"' and be an ex-
              act 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).
