# nfsmount.conf

## NAME



           nfsmount.conf - Configuration file for NFS mounts
    


## SYNOPSIS



           Configuration file for NFS mounts that allows options to be set
           globally, per server or per mount point.
    


## DESCRIPTION



           The configuration file is made up of multiple section headers
           followed by variable assignments associated with that section.  A
           section header is defined by a string enclosed by **[** and **]**
           brackets.  Variable assignments are assignment statements that
           assign values to particular variables using the **=** operator, as in
           **Proto=Tcp**.  The variables that can be assigned are the set of NFS
           specific mount options listed in nfs(5) together with the
           filesystem-independant mount options listed in mount(8) and three
           additions: **Sloppy=True** has the same effect as the **-s** option to
           _mount_ , and **Foreground=True** and **Background=True** have the same
           effect as **bg** and **fg**.
    
           Options in the config file may be given in upper, lower, or mixed
           case and will be shifted to lower case before being passed to the
           filesystem.
    
           Boolean mount options which do not need an equals sign must be
           given as "_option_ =True".  Instead of preceding such an option with
           "**no** " its negation must be given as "_option_ =False".
    
           Sections are broken up into three basic categories: Global
           options, Server options and Mount Point options.
    
           **[ NFSMount_Global_Options ]** - This statically named section
                  defines all of the global mount options that can be applied
                  to every NFS mount.
    
           **[ Server "Server_Name" ]** - This section defines all the mount
                  options that should be used on mounts to a particular NFS
                  server. The _"Server_Name"_ strings needs to be surrounded by
                  '"' and be an exact match (ignoring case) of the server
                  name used in the **mount** command.
    
           **[ MountPoint "Mount_Point" ]** - This section defines all the mount
                  options that should be used on a particular mount point.
                  The _"Mount_Point"_ string needs to be surrounded by '"' and
                  be an exact match of the mount point used in the **mount**
                  command.  Though path names are usually case-sensitive, the
                  Mount_Point name is matched insensitive to case.
    
           The sections are processed in the reverse of the order listed
           above, and any options already seen, either in a previous section
           or on the command line, will be ignored when seen again.
    


## EXAMPLES



           These are some example lines of how sections and variables are
           defined in the configuration file.
    
           [ NFSMount_Global_Options ]
               Proto=Tcp
    
                  The TCP/IPv4 protocol will be used on every NFS mount.
    
           [ Server "nfsserver.foo.com" ]
               rsize=32k
               wsize=32k
               proto=udp6
    
                  A 32k (32768 bytes) block size will be used as the read and
                  write size on all mounts to the 'nfsserver.foo.com' server.
                  UDP/IPv6 is the protocol to be used.
    
           [ MountPoint "/export/home" ]
               Background=True
    
                  All mounts to the '/export/home' export will be performed
                  in the background (i.e. done asynchronously).
    


## FILES



           _/usr/etc/nfsmount.conf_
           _/usr/etc/nfsmount.conf.d/*.conf_
           _/etc/nfsmount.conf_
           _/etc/nfsmount.conf.d/*.conf_
    
                  Default NFS mount configuration files, variables set in the
                  later file over-ride those in the earlier file.
