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 sections followed by variables associated
with that section. A section is defined by a string enclosed by [ and ] branches. Vari-
ables are assignment statements that assign values to particular variables using the =
operator, as in Proto=Tcp. The variables that can be assigned are exactly the set of NFS
specific mount options listed in nfs(5).

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 sur-
rounded by '"' and be an exact match 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.

EXAMPLES
These are some example lines of how sections and variables are defined in the configura-
tion 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).
