.SH NAME
nfsmount.conf - Configuration file for NFS mounts
.SH SYNOPSIS
Configuration file for NFS mounts that allows options
to be set globally, per server or per mount point.
.SH DESCRIPTION
The configuration file is made up of multiple sections 
followed by variables associated with that section.
A section is defined by a string enclosed by 
.BR [
and 
.BR ]
branches.
Variables are assignment statements that assign values 
to particular variables using the  
.BR = 
operator, as in 
.BR Proto=Tcp .
The variables that can be assigned are exactly the set of NFS specific
mount options listed in
.BR nfs (5).
.PP
Sections are broken up into three basic categories:
Global options, Server options and Mount Point options.
.HP
.B [ NFSMount_Global_Options ]
- This statically named section
defines all of the global mount options that can be 
applied to every NFS mount.
.HP
.B [ Server \(lqServer_Name\(rq ] 
- This section defines all the mount options that should 
be used on mounts to a particular NFS server. The 
.I \(lqServer_Name\(rq
strings needs to be surrounded by '\(lq' and 
be an exact match of the server name used in the 
.B mount
command. 
.HP
.B [ MountPoint \(lqMount_Point\(rq ]
- This section defines all the mount options that 
should be used on a particular mount point.
The 
.I \(lqMount_Point\(rq
string needs to be surrounded by '\(lq' and be an 
exact match of the mount point used in the 
.BR mount 
command.
.SH EXAMPLES
.PP
These are some example lines of how sections and variables
are defined in the configuration file.
.PP
[ NFSMount_Global_Options ]
.br
    Proto=Tcp
.RS
.HP
The TCP/IPv4 protocol will be used on every NFS mount.
.HP
.RE
[ Server \(lqnfsserver.foo.com\(rq ]
.br
    rsize=32k
.br
    wsize=32k
.br
    proto=udp6
.HP
.RS
A 32k (32768 bytes) block size will be used as the read and write
size on all mounts to the 'nfsserver.foo.com' server.  UDP/IPv6
is the protocol to be used.
.HP
.RE
.BR 
[ MountPoint \(lq/export/home\(rq ]
.br
