26.3 Importing File Systems Manually
The prerequisite for importing le systems manually from an NFS server is a running
RPC port mapper. Start it by entering rcrpcbind start as root. Then remote
le systems can be mounted in the le system like local partitions using mount:
mount host:remote-path local-path
To import user directories from the nfs.example.com machine, for example, use:
mount nfs.example.com:/home /home
26.3.1 Using the Automount Service
The autofs daemon can be used to mount remote le systems automatically. Add the
following entry in the your /etc/auto.master le:
/nfsmounts /etc/auto.nfs
