2. Mount all the NFS file systems specified in the /etc/fstab file by entering the
following command:
/usr/sbin/mount -a -F nfs
3. Verify that your filesystem is mounted by entering the following command:
nfsstat -m
An output similar to the following output is displayed:
/mnt/nfs149 from nfs149:/
Flags:
vers=4,proto=tcp,sec=sys,hard,intr,link,symlink,devs,rsize=
32768,wsize=32768,retrans=5,timeo=600
Attr cache:acregmin=3,acregmax=60,acdirmin=30,acdirmax=60
The directory that you have mounted must be present in this list.
Manual Mount
To mount your directories manually, follow these steps:

rsize=32768,wsize=32768,retrans=5,timeo=11
Attr cache:
acregmin=3,acregmax=60,acdirmin=30,acdirmax=60
Lookups: srtt=33 (82ms), dev=33 (165ms), cur=20 (400ms)
The directory that you have mounted must be present in this list.
For a list of mount options, see mount_nfs(1M).

filesystems.
To mount a directory that has been replicated on multiple servers, enter the following
