Configuring and Administering NFS Clients

You can also configure the client protocol version to NFSv4 by specifying

vers=4 while mounting the directory. For example, to set the client

protocol version to NFSv4 while mounting the /usr/kc directory, enter

the following command:

mount -o vers=4 serv:/usr/kc /usr/kc

For more information on NFSv4, see nfsd (1m), mount_nfs (1m),

nfsmapid (1m), and nfs4cbd (1m).

Deciding Between Standard-Mounted Directories and

Automounted Directories

Before you mount any remote directories on a local system, decide

whether you want each directory to be standard-mounted or

automounted. You can automount directories using AutoFS. For more

information on AutoFS, see Chapter 3, “Configuring and Administering

AutoFS,” on page 99.

Table 2-7 lists the differences between the Standard-Mounted and the

Automounted directories.
