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.

       remotetarget  is  a  server  share  usually  in  the  form  of  server-
       name:/path/to/share.   dir is the directory on which the file system is
       to be mounted.

       Under Linux 2.6.32 and later kernel versions, mount.nfs can  mount  all
       NFS  file  system  versions.   Under  earlier  Linux  kernel  versions,
       mount.nfs4 must be used for mounting NFSv4 file systems while mount.nfs
       must be used for NFSv3 and v2.

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.
