Figure 2-4 NFS Mount of Home Directories
• Mounting an NFS Version 2 filesystem using the UDP Transport
mount -o vers=2,proto=udp onc21:/var/mail /var/mail
In this example, the NFS client mounts the /var/mail directory from the NFS
server, onc21, using NFSv2 and the UDP protocol.
• Mounting an NFS filesystem using an NFS URL
mount nfs://onc31/Casey/mail /Casey/mail
In this example, the NFS client mounts the /Casey/mail directory from NFS
server, onc31, using the WebNFS protocol.
• Mounting an NFS filesystem by using a public file handle
mount -o public nfs://onc31/usr/%A0abc /Casey/Clay
If the public option or a URL is specified, the mount command attempts to
connect to the server using the public file handle. The daemons rpcbind and
mountd are not contacted.
In this example, the NFS client mounts /Casey/Clay directory by using a public
file handle, and an NFS URL that has a non 7-bit ASCII escape sequence from the
NFS server, onc31.
• Mounting an NFS filesystem using native path
mount -o public onc31:C:Casey:test1 /Casey/test
A native path is a pathname that is interpreted according to conventions used on
the native operating system of the NFS server.
In this example, the NFS client mounts the /Casey/test directory using a native
path and a public file handle.
• Mounting a replicated set of NFS filesystems with same pathnames
mount -r onc21,onc23,onc25:/Casey/Clay /Casey/Clay
In this example, the NFS client mounts a single filesystem, /Casey/Clay that has
been replicated to a number of servers with the same pathnames. This enables the
