How to Mount an NFS File System Using an NFS URL

1. Become superuser or assume an equivalent role.

   For information about roles, see "Using Privileged Applications" in System Administration Guide: Security Services.

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

   # 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 by using NFS port number 3000. The port number is not required and by default uses the standard NFS port number of 2049. You can choose to include the public option with an NFS URL. Without the public option, the MOUNT protocol is used if the public file handle is not supported by the server. The public option forces the use of the public file handle, and the mount fails if the public file handle is not supported.
