How to Mount an NFS File System Through a Firewall

1. Become superuser.

2. Manually mount the file system, using a command like:

   # mount -F nfs -o public bee:/export/share/local /mnt

   In this example the file system /export/share/local is mounted on the local client using the public file handle. An NFS URL can be used instead of the standard path name. If the public file handle is not supported by the server bee, the mount operation will fail.

   Note -

   This procedure requires that the file system on the NFS server be shared using the public option and any firewalls between the client and the server allow TCP connections on port 2049. Starting with the 2.6 release, all file systems that are shared allow for public file handle access.
