How to Mount an NFS File System Using an NFS URL

1. Become superuser.

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

   # mount -F nfs nfs://bee:3000/export/share/local /mnt

   In this example, the /export/share/local file system is being mounted from the server bee using NFS port number 3000. The port number is not required and by default uses the standard NFS port number of 2049. You can include the public option with an NFS URL, if you want. Without the public option, the MOUNT protocol is used if the public file handle is not supported by the server. The public option will force the use of the public file handle, and the mount will fail if the public file handle is not supported.
