NAME

mount.nfs, mount.nfs4 - mount a Network File System

SYNOPSIS

mount.nfs*/ remotetarget dir/ [-rvVwfnsh ] [-o options“]*

DESCRIPTION

mount.nfs is a part of *nfs*(5) utilities package, which provides NFS client functionality.

mount.nfs is meant to be used by the *mount*(8) command for mounting NFS shares. This subcommand, however, can also be used as a standalone command with limited functionality.

remotetarget is a server share usually in the form of servername:/path/to/share. dir is the directory on which the file system is to be mounted.

Under Linux 2.6.32 and later kernel versions, mount.nfs can mount all NFS file system versions. Under earlier Linux kernel versions, mount.nfs4 must be used for mounting NFSv4 file systems while mount.nfs must be used for NFSv3 and v2.
