NFSMOUNT.CONF(5) File Formats Manual NFSMOUNT.CONF(5)
NAME
nfsmount.conf - Configuration file for NFS mounts
SYNOPSIS
Configuration file for NFS mounts that allows options to be set glob-
ally, 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 assign-
ments are assignment statements that assign values to particular vari-
ables 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) to-
gether 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 filesys-
tem.
Boolean mount options which do not need an equals sign must be given as
"option=True". Instead of preceeding 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 op-
tions that should be used on a particular mount point. The
"Mount_Point" string needs to be surrounded by '"' and be an ex-
act 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
/etc/nfsmount.conf
Default NFS mount configuration file
/etc/nfsmount.conf.d
When this directory exists and files ending with ".conf" ex-
ist, those files will be used to set configuration variables.
These files will override variables set in /etc/nfsmount.conf
