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 preceding such an option with "no" its nega-
       tion 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
