.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility calls the
|
|
.Xr mount 2
|
|
system call to prepare and graft a remote NFS file system
|
|
.Pq Ar rhost : Ns Ar path
|
|
on to the file system tree at the point
|
|
.Ar node .
|
|
This command is normally executed by
|
|
.Xr mount 8 .
|
|
It implements the mount protocol as described in RFC 1094, Appendix A and
|
|
.%T "NFS: Network File System Version 3 Protocol Specification" ,
|
|
Appendix I.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
By default,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
keeps retrying until the mount succeeds.
|
|
This behaviour is intended for file systems listed in
|
|
.Xr fstab 5
|
|
that are critical to the boot process.
|
|
For non-critical file systems, the
|
|
.Fl b
|
|
and
|
|
.Fl R
|
|
flags provide mechanisms to prevent the boot process from hanging
|
|
if the server is unavailable.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the server becomes unresponsive while an NFS file system is
|
|
mounted, any new or outstanding file operations on that file system
|
|
will hang uninterruptibly until the server comes back.
|
|
To modify this default behaviour, see the
|
|
.Fl i
|
|
and
|
|
.Fl s
|
|
flags.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The options are:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl 2
|
|
Use the NFS Version 2 protocol (the default is to try version 3 first
|
|
then version 2).
|
|
Note that NFS version 2 has a file size limit of 2 gigabytes.
|
|
.It Fl 3
|
|
Use the NFS Version 3 protocol.
|
|
.It Fl D
|
|
Set the
|
|
.Dq "dead server threshold"
|
|
to the specified number of round trip timeout intervals before a
|
|
.Dq "server not responding"
|
|
message is displayed.
|
|
.It Fl I
|
|
Set the readdir read size to the specified value.
|
|
The value should normally
|
|
be a multiple of
|
|
.Dv DIRBLKSIZ
|
|
that is <= the read size for the mount.
|
|
.It Fl L
|
|
Do
|
|
.Em not
|
|
forward
|
|
.Xr fcntl 2
|
|
locks over the wire.
|
|
All locks will be local and not seen by the server
|
|
and likewise not seen by other NFS clients.
|
|
This removes the need to run the
|
|
.Xr rpcbind 8
|
|
service and the
|
|
.Xr rpc.statd 8
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr rpc.lockd 8
|
|
servers on the client.
|
|
Note that this option will only be honored when performing the
|
|
initial mount, it will be silently ignored if used while updating
|
|
the mount options.
|
|
.It Fl N
|
|
Do
|
|
.Em not
|
|
use a reserved socket port number (see below).
|
|
.It Fl P
|
|
Use a reserved socket port number.
|
|
This flag is obsolete, and only retained for compatibility reasons.
|
|
Reserved port numbers are used by default now.
|
|
(For the rare case where the client has a trusted root account
|
|
but untrustworthy users and the network cables are in secure areas this does
|
|
help, but for normal desktop clients this does not apply.)
|
|
.It Fl R
|
|
Set the mount retry count to the specified value.
|
|
The default is a retry count of zero, which means to keep retrying
|
|
forever.
|
|
There is a 60 second delay between each attempt.
|
|
.It Fl T
|
|
Use TCP transport instead of UDP.
|
|
This is recommended for servers that are not on the same LAN cable as
|
|
the client.
|
|
(NB: This is NOT supported by most
|
|
.No non- Ns Bx
|
|
servers.)
|
|
.It Fl U
|
|
Force the mount protocol to use UDP transport, even for TCP NFS mounts.
|
|
(Necessary for some old
|
|
.Bx
|
|
servers.)
|
|
.It Fl a
|
|
Set the read-ahead count to the specified value.
|
|
This may be in the range of 0 - 4, and determines how many blocks
|
|
will be read ahead when a large file is being read sequentially.
|
|
Trying a value greater than 1 for this is suggested for
|
|
mounts with a large bandwidth * delay product.
|
|
.It Fl b
|
|
If an initial attempt to contact the server fails, fork off a child to keep
|
|
trying the mount in the background.
|
|
Useful for
|
|
.Xr fstab 5 ,
|
|
where the file system mount is not critical to multiuser operation.
|
|
.It Fl c
|
|
For UDP mount points, do not do a
|
|
.Xr connect 2 .
|
|
This must be used if the server does not reply to requests from the standard
|
|
NFS port number 2049 or replies to requests using a different IP address
|
|
(which can occur if the server is multi-homed).
|
|
Setting the
|
|
.Va vfs.nfs.nfs_ip_paranoia
|
|
sysctl to 0 will make this option the default.
|
|
.It Fl d
|
|
Turn off the dynamic retransmit timeout estimator.
|
|
This may be useful for UDP mounts that exhibit high retry rates,
|
|
since it is possible that the dynamically estimated timeout interval is too
|
|
short.
|
|
.It Fl g
|
|
Set the maximum size of the group list for the credentials to the
|
|
specified value.
|
|
This should be used for mounts on old servers that cannot handle a
|
|
group list size of 16, as specified in RFC 1057.
|
|
Try 8, if users in a lot of groups cannot get response from the mount
|
|
point.
|
|
.It Fl i
|
|
Make the mount interruptible, which implies that file system calls that
|
|
are delayed due to an unresponsive server will fail with EINTR when a
|
|
termination signal is posted for the process.
|
|
.It Fl l
|
|
Used with NQNFS and NFSV3 to specify that the \fBReaddirPlus\fR RPC should
|
|
be used.
|
|
This option reduces RPC traffic for cases such as
|
|
.Dq "ls -l" ,
|
|
but tends to flood the attribute and name caches with prefetched entries.
|
|
Try this option and see whether performance improves or degrades.
|
|
Probably
|
|
most useful for client to server network interconnects with a large bandwidth
|
|
times delay product.
|
|
.It Fl o
|
|
Options are specified with a
|
|
.Fl o
|
|
flag followed by a comma separated string of options.
|
|
See the
|
|
.Xr mount 8
|
|
man page for possible options and their meanings.
|
|
The following NFS specific options are also available:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Cm port Ns = Ns Aq Ar port_number
|
|
Use specified port number for NFS requests.
|
|
The default is to query the portmapper for the NFS port.
|
|
.It Cm acregmin Ns = Ns Aq Ar seconds
|
|
.It Cm acregmax Ns = Ns Aq Ar seconds
|
|
.It Cm acdirmin Ns = Ns Aq Ar seconds
|
|
.It Cm acdirmax Ns = Ns Aq Ar seconds
|
|
When attributes of files are cached, a timeout calculated to determine
|
|
whether a given cache entry has expired.
|
|
These four values determine the upper and lower bounds of the timeouts for
|
|
.Dq directory
|
|
attributes and
|
|
.Dq regular
|
|
(ie: everything else).
|
|
The default values are 3 -> 60 seconds
|
|
for regular files, and 30 -> 60 seconds for directories.
|
|
The algorithm to calculate the timeout is based on the age of the file.
|
|
The older the file,
|
|
the longer the cache is considered valid, subject to the limits above.
|
|
.It Cm noinet4 , noinet6
|
|
Disables
|
|
.Dv AF_INET
|
|
or
|
|
.Dv AF_INET6
|
|
connections.
|
|
Useful for hosts that have
|
|
both an A record and an AAAA record for the same name.

.El
|
|
.It Fl r
|
|
Set the read data size to the specified value.
|
|
It should normally be a power of 2 greater than or equal to 1024.
|
|
This should be used for UDP mounts when the
|
|
.Dq "fragments dropped due to timeout"
|
|
value is getting large while actively using a mount point.
|
|
(Use
|
|
.Xr netstat 1
|
|
with the
|
|
.Fl s
|
|
option to see what the
|
|
.Dq "fragments dropped due to timeout"
|
|
value is.)
|
|
See the
|
|
.Fl w
|
|
option as well.
|
|
.It Fl s
|
|
A soft mount, which implies that file system calls will fail
|
|
after
|
|
.Ar retrycnt
|
|
round trip timeout intervals.
|
|
.It Fl t
|
|
Set the initial retransmit timeout to the specified value.
|
|
May be useful for fine tuning UDP mounts over internetworks
|
|
with high packet loss rates or an overloaded server.
|
|
Try increasing the interval if
|
|
.Xr nfsstat 1
|
|
shows high retransmit rates while the file system is active or reducing the
|
|
value if there is a low retransmit rate but long response delay observed.
|
|
(Normally, the
|
|
.Fl d
|
|
option should be specified when using this option to manually
|
|
tune the timeout
|
|
interval.)
|
|
.It Fl w
|
|
Set the write data size to the specified value.
|
|
Ditto the comments w.r.t.\& the
|
|
.Fl r
|
|
option, but using the
|
|
.Dq "fragments dropped due to timeout"
|
|
value on the server instead of the client.
|
|
Note that both the
|
|
.Fl r
|
|
and
|
|
.Fl w
|
|
options should only be used as a last ditch effort at improving performance
|
|
when mounting servers that do not support TCP mounts.
|
|
.It Fl x
|
|
Set the retransmit timeout count for soft mounts to the specified value.

.Sh BUGS
|
|
Due to the way that Sun RPC is implemented on top of UDP (unreliable datagram)
|
|
transport, tuning such mounts is really a black art that can only be expected
|
|
to have limited success.
|
|
For clients mounting servers that are not on the same
|
|
LAN cable or that tend to be overloaded,
|
|
TCP transport is strongly recommended,
|
|
but unfortunately this is restricted to mostly
|
|
.Bx 4.4
|
|
servers.
