Go forward to Unix Filesystem.
Go backward to Network Host Filesystem.
Go up to Filesystem Types.
Network Filesystem Group (`type:=nfsx')
=======================================
The "nfsx" filesystem allows a group of filesystems to be mounted
from a single NFS server. The implementation is layered above the
`nfs' implementation so keep-alives work in the same way.
The options are the same as for the `nfs' filesystem with one
difference.
The following options must be specified:
`rhost'
the remote fileserver. This must be an entry in the hosts
database. IP addresses are not accepted. The default value is
taken from the local host name (`${host}') if no other value is
specified.
`rfs'
as a list of filesystems to mount. The list is in the form of a
comma separated strings.
For example:
pub type:=nfsx;rhost:=gould;\
rfs:=/public,/,graphics,usenet;fs:=${autodir}/${rhost}/root
The first string defines the root of the tree, and is applied as a
prefix to the remaining members of the list which define the individual
filesystems. The first string is *not* used as a filesystem name. A
parallel operation is used to determine the local mount points to
ensure a consistent layout of a tree of mounts.
Here, the *three* filesystems, `/public', `/public/graphics' and
`/public/usenet', would be mounted.
A local mount point, `${fs}', *must* be specified. The default
local mount point will not work correctly in the general case. A
suggestion is to use `fs:=${autodir}/${rhost}/root'.
