NFSMOUNT.CONF(5) File Formats Manual NFSMOUNT.CONF(5)
nfsmount.conf - Configuration file for NFS mounts
Configuration file for NFS mounts that allows options to be set
globally, per server or per mount point.
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.
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).
/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.
