NAME
       nfsmount.conf - Configuration file for NFS mounts

SYNOPSIS
       Configuration file for NFS mounts that allows options to be set globally, per server or per mount point.

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 [ and ] branches.  Variables are assignment statements that assign values  to  particular
       variables  using  the  =  operator, as in Proto=Tcp.  Sections are broken up into three basic categories: Global options,
       Server options and Mount Point options.

       [ NFSMount_Global_Options ] - This statically named section defines all of the global mount options that can  be  applied
              to every NFS mount.

       [  Server  "Server_Name" ] - This section defines all the mount options that should be used on mounts to a particular NFS
              server. The "Server_Name" strings needs to be surrounded by '"' and be an exact match of the server name  used  in
              the mount command.

       [  MountPoint  "Mount_Point"  ]  -  This  section defines all the mount options that should be used on a particular mount
              point.  The "Mount_Point" string needs to be surrounded by '"' and be an exact match of the mount  point  used  in
              the mount command.

EXAMPLES
       These are some example lines of how sections and variables are defined in the configuration file.

       [ NFSMount_Global_Options ]
           Proto=Tcp

              The TCP protocol will be used on every NFS mount.


       [ Server "nfsserver.foo.com" ]
           rsize=32k
           wsize=32k


              A  33k  (32768  bytes) block size will be used as the read and write size on all mounts to the 'nfsserver.foo.com'
              server.


        [ MountPoint "/export/home" ]
           Background=True

              All mounts to the '/export/home' export will be performed in the background (i.e. done asynchronously).
