Using the mount Command

Both of these commands mount an NFS file system from the server bee read-only:

# mount -F nfs -r bee:/export/share/man /usr/man

# mount -F nfs -o ro bee:/export/share/man /usr/man

This command uses the -O option to force the man pages from the server bee to be mounted on the local system even if /usr/man has already been mounted as follows:

# mount -F nfs -O bee:/export/share/man /usr/man

This command uses client failover:

# mount -F nfs -r bee,wasp:/export/share/man /usr/man

When used from the command line, the listed servers must support the same version of the NFS protocol. Do not mix version 2 and version 3 servers when running mount from the command line. You can use mixed servers with autofs. Autofs automatically selects the best subset of version 2 or version 3 servers.

Here is an example of using an NFS URL with the mount command:

# mount -F nfs nfs://bee//export/share/man /usr/man

Use the mount command with no arguments to display file systems that are mounted on a client.
