Mount an NFS File System by Using an NFS URL

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.

Note:

The NFS protocol version that is used when you mount the file system is the highest version supported by both the client and the server. However, you can use the vers=# option to select a specific NFS protocol version.
