How to Mount an NFS File System (mount Command)
Become superuser or assume an equivalent role.
Create a mount point for the file system to be mounted, if necessary.
# mkdir /mount-point
There must be a mount point on the local system to mount a file system. A mount point is a directory to
which the mounted file system is attached.
Ensure that the resource (file or directory) is available from a server.
To mount an NFS file system, the resource must be made available on the server by using the share command.
For information on how to share resources, see About the NFS Service in System Administration Guide: Network Services.
Mount the NFS file system.
# mount -F nfs [-o mount-options] server:/directory /mount-point
-o mount-options
Specifies mount options that you can use to mount an NFS file system.
server:/directory
Specifies the server's host name that contains the shared resource, and the path to the file or directory to mount.
# mount -F nfs [-o mount-options] server:/directory /mount-point
Specifies the directory on which to mount the file system.
The following example shows how to mount the /export/packages directory on /mnt from the server pluto.
# mount -F nfs pluto:/export/packages /mnt
$ mount -p /mount_point
The above command checks the real-time NFS mount options used.
