-.Ar resource mount_point
-.Sh DESCRIPTION
-The
-.Nm mount
-utility attaches a named
-.Ar resource
-to the file system hierarchy at the pathname location
-.Ar mount_point ,
-which must already exist.
-If
-.Ar mount_point
-has any contents prior to the
-.Nm mount
-operation, the contents remain hidden until the
-.Ar resource
-is once again unmounted.
-.Pp
-.Nm
-starts the
-.Xr lockd 1M
-and
-.Xr statd 1M
-daemons if they are not already running.
-.Pp
-If the resource is listed in the
-.Pa /etc/vfstab
-file, the command line can specify either
-.Ar resource
-or
-.Ar mount_point ,
-and
-.Nm mount
-consults
-.Pa /etc/vfstab
-for more information.
-If the
-.Fl F
-option is omitted,
-.Nm mount
-takes the file system type from
-.Pa /etc/vfstab .
-.Pp
-If the resource is not listed in the
-.Pa /etc/vfstab
-file, then the command line must specify both the
-.Ar resource
-and the
-.Ar mount_point .
-.Pp
-.Ar host
-can be an IPv4 or IPv6 address string.
-As IPv6 addresses already contain colons, enclose
-.Ar host
-in a pair of square brackets when specifying an IPv6 address string.
-Otherwise the first occurrence of a colon can be interpreted as the separator
-between the host name and path, for example,
-.Li [1080::8:800:200C:417A]:tmp/file .
-See
-.Xr inet 7P
-and
-.Xr inet6 7P .
-.Bl -tag -width Ds
-.It Ar host Ns \&: Ns Ar pathname
-Where
-.Ar host
-is the name of the NFS server host, and
-.Ar pathname
-is the path name of the directory on the server being mounted.
-The path name is interpreted according to the server's path name parsing rules
-and is not necessarily slash-separated, though on most servers, this is the
-case.
-.It No nfs:// Ns Ar host Ns Oo : Ns Ar port Oc Ns / Ns Ar pathname
-This is an NFS URL and follows the standard convention for NFS URLs as described
-in
-.Rs
-.%R NFS URL Scheme
-.%T RFC 2224
-.Re
-See the discussion of URLs and the public option under
-.Sx NFS FILE SYSTEMS
-for a more detailed discussion.
-.It Xo
-.Ar host Ns \&: Ns Ar pathname
-.No nfs:// Ns Ar host Ns Oo : Ns Ar port Oc Ns / Ns Ar pathname
-.Xc
-.Ar host Ns \&: Ns Ar pathname
-is a comma-separated list of
-.Ar host Ns \&: Ns Ar pathname .
-See the discussion of replicated file systems and failover under
-.Sx NFS FILE SYSTEMS
-for a more detailed discussion.
-.It Ar hostlist pathname
-.Ar hostlist
-is a comma-separated list of hosts.
-See the discussion of replicated file systems and failover under

-.El
-.Pp
-The
-.Nm mount
-command maintains a table of mounted file systems in
-.Pa /etc/mnttab ,
-described in
-.Xr mnttab 4 .
-.Pp
-.Nm mount_nfs
-supports both NFSv3 and NFSv4 mounts.
-The default NFS version is NFSv4.
-.Ss Options
-See
-.Xr mount 1M
-for the list of supported
-.Ar generic_options .
-See
-.Xr share_nfs 1M
-for a description of server options.
-.Bl -tag -width Ds
-.It Fl o Ar specific_options
-Set file system specific options according to a comma-separated list with no
-intervening spaces.
-.El
-.Pp
-The following list describes
-.Ar specific_options :
-.Bl -tag -width Ds
-.It Sy acdirmax Ns = Ns Ar n
-Hold cached attributes for no more than
-.Ar n
-seconds after directory update.
-The default value is 60.
-.It Sy acdirmin Ns = Ns Ar n
-Hold cached attributes for at least
-.Ar n
-seconds after directory update.
-The default value is 30.
-.It Sy acregmax Ns = Ns Ar n
-Hold cached attributes for no more than
-.Ar n
-seconds after file modification.
-The default value is 60.
-.It Sy acregmin Ns = Ns Ar n
-Hold cached attributes for at least
-.Ar n
-seconds after file modification.
-The default value is 3.
-.It Sy actimeo Ns = Ns n
-Set
-.Sy min
-and
-.Sy max
-times for regular files and directories to
-.Ar n
-seconds.
-See
-.Sx File Attributes ,
-below, for a description of the effect of setting this option to 0.
-.Pp
-See
-.Sx Specifying Values for Attribute Cache Duration Options ,
-below, for a description of how
-.Sy acdirmax , acdirmin , acregmax , acregmin ,
-and
-.Sy actimeo
-are parsed on a
-.Nm mount
-command line.
-.It Sy bg Ns | Ns Sy fg
-If the first attempt fails, retry in the background, or, in the foreground.
-The default is
-.Sy fg .
-.It Sy forcedirectio Ns | Ns Sy noforcedirectio
-If
-.Sy forcedirectio
-is specified, then for the duration of the mount, forced direct I/O is used.
-If the filesystem is mounted using
-.Sy forcedirectio ,
-data is transferred directly between client and server, with no buffering on the
-client.
-If the filesystem is mounted using
-.Sy noforcedirectio ,
-data is buffered on the client.
-.Sy forcedirectio
-is a performance option that is of benefit only in large sequential data
-transfers.
-The default behavior is
-.Sy noforcedirectio .
-.It Sy grpid
-By default, the GID associated with a newly created file obeys the System V
-semantics; that is, the GID is set to the effective GID of the calling process.
-This behavior can be overridden on a per-directory basis by setting the set-GID
-bit of the parent directory; in this case, the GID of a newly created file is
-set to the GID of the parent directory
-.Po see
-.Xr open 2
-and
-.Xr mkdir 2
-.Pc .
-Files created on file systems that are mounted with the
-.Sy grpid
-option obeys BSD semantics independent of whether the set-GID bit of the parent
-directory is set; that is, the GID is unconditionally inherited from that of the
-parent directory.
-.It Sy hard Ns | Ns Sy soft
-Continue to retry requests until the server responds
-.Pq Sy hard
-or give up and return an error
-.Pq Sy soft .
-The default value is
-.Sy hard .
-Note that NFSv4 clients do not support soft mounts.
-.It Sy intr Ns | Ns Sy nointr
-Allow
-.Pq do not allow
-keyboard interrupts to kill a process that is hung while waiting for a response
-on a hard-mounted file system.
-The default is
-.Sy intr ,
-which makes it possible for clients to interrupt applications that can be
-waiting for a remote mount.
-.It Sy noac
-Suppress data and attribute caching.
-The data caching that is suppressed is the write-behind.
-The local page cache is still maintained, but data copied into it is immediately
-written to the server.
-.It Sy nocto
-Do not perform the normal close-to-open consistency.
-When a file is closed, all modified data associated with the file is flushed to
-the server and not held on the client.
-When a file is opened the client sends a request to the server to validate the
-client's local caches.
-This behavior ensures a file's consistency across multiple NFS clients.
-When
-.Sy nocto
-is in effect, the client does not perform the flush on close and the request for
-validation, allowing the possibility of differences among copies of the same
-file as stored on multiple clients.
-.Pp
-This option can be used where it can be guaranteed that accesses to a specified
-file system are made from only one client and only that client.
-Under such a condition, the effect of
-.Sy nocto
-can be a slight performance gain.
-.It Sy port Ns = Ns Ar n
-The server IP port number.
-The default is
-.Dv NFS_PORT .
-If the
-.Sy port
-option is specified, and if the resource includes one or more NFS URLs, and if
-any of the URLs include a port number, then the port number in the option and in
-the URL must be the same.
-.It Sy posix
-Request POSIX.1 semantics for the file system.
-Requires a mount Version 2
-.Xr mountd 1M
-on the server.
-See
-.Xr standards 5
-for information regarding POSIX.
-.It Sy proto Ns = Ns Ar netid Ns | Ns Sy rdma
-By default, the transport protocol that the NFS mount uses is the first
-available RDMA transport supported both by the client and the server.
-If no RDMA transport is found, then it attempts to use a TCP transport or,
-failing that, a UDP transport, as ordered in the
-.Pa /etc/netconfig
-file.
-If it does not find a connection oriented transport, it uses the first available
-connectionless transport.
-Use this option to override the default behavior.
-.Pp
-.Sy proto
-is set to the value of
-.Ar netid
-or
-.Sy rdma .
-.Ar netid
-is the value of the
-.Sy network_id
-field entry in the
-.Pa /etc/netconfig
-file.
-.Pp
-The UDP protocol is not supported for NFS Version 4.
-If you specify a UDP protocol with the
-.Sy proto
-option, NFS version 4 is not used.
-.It Sy public
-The
-.Sy public
-option forces the use of the public file handle when connecting to the NFS
-server.
-The resource specified might not have an NFS URL.
-See the discussion of URLs and the public option under
-.Sx NFS FILE SYSTEMS
-for a more detailed discussion.
-.It Sy quota Ns | Ns Sy noquota
-Enable or prevent
-.Xr quota 1M
-to check whether the user is over quota on this file system; if the file system
-has quotas enabled on the server, quotas are still checked for operations on
-this file system.
-.It Sy remount
-Remounts a read-only file system as read-write
-.Po using the
-.Sy rw
-option
-.Pc .
-This option cannot be used with other
-.Fl o
-options, and this option works only on currently mounted read-only file systems.
-.It Sy retrans Ns = Ns Ar n
-Set the number of NFS retransmissions to
-.Ar n .
-The default value is 5.
-For connection-oriented transports, this option has no effect because it is
-assumed that the transport performs retransmissions on behalf of NFS.
-.It Sy retry Ns = Ns Ar n
-The number of times to retry the
-.Nm mount
-operation.
-The default for the
-.Nm mount
-command is 10000.
-.Pp
-The default for the automounter is 0, in other words, do not retry.
-You might find it useful to increase this value on heavily loaded servers, where
-automounter traffic is dropped, causing unnecessary
-.Qq server not responding
-errors.
-.It Sy rsize Ns = Ns Ar n
-Set the read buffer size to a maximum of
-.Ar n
-bytes.
-The default value is 1048576 when using connection-oriented transports with
-Version 3 or Version 4 of the NFS protocol, and 32768 when using connection-less
-transports.
-The default can be negotiated down if the server prefers a smaller transfer
-size.
-.Qq Read
-operations may not necessarily use the maximum buffer size.
-When using Version 2, the default value is 32768 for all transports.
-.It Sy sec Ns = Ns Ar mode
-Set the security
-.Ar mode
-for NFS transactions.
-If
-.Sy sec Ns =
-is not specified, then the default action is to use AUTH_SYS over NFS Version 2
-mounts, use a user-configured default
-.Sy auth
-over NFS version 3 mounts, or to negotiate a mode over Version 4 mounts.
-.Pp
-The preferred mode for NFS Version 3 mounts is the default mode specified in
-.Pa /etc/nfssec.conf
-.Po see
-.Xr nfssec.conf 4
-.Pc
-on the client.
-If there is no default configured in this file or if the server does not export
-using the client's default mode, then the client picks the first mode that it
-supports in the array of modes returned by the server.
-These alternatives are limited to the security flavors listed in
-.Pa /etc/nfssec.conf .
-.Pp
-NFS Version 4 mounts negotiate a security mode when the server returns an array
-of security modes.
-The client attempts the mount with each security mode, in order, until one is
-successful.
-.Pp
-Only one mode can be specified with the
-.Sy sec Ns =
-option.
-See
-.Xr nfssec 5
-for the available
-.Ar mode
-options.
-.It Sy secure
-This option has been deprecated in favor of the
-.Sy sec Ns = Ns Sy dh
-option.
-.It Sy timeo Ns = Ns Ar n
-Set the NFS timeout to
-.Ar n
-tenths of a second.
-The default value is 11 tenths of a second for connectionless transports, and
-600 tenths of a second for connection-oriented transports.
-This value is ignored for connectionless transports.
-Such transports might implement their own timeouts, which are outside the
-control of NFS.
-.It Sy vers Ns = Ns Ar "NFS version number"
-By default, the version of NFS protocol used between the client and the server
-is the highest one available on both systems.
-If the NFS server does not support the client's default maximum, the next lowest
-version attempted until a matching version is found.
-See
-.Xr nfs 4
-for more information on setting default minimum and maximum client versions.
-.It Sy wsize Ns = Ns Ar n
-Set the write buffer size to a maximum of
-.Ar n
-bytes.
-The default value is 1048576 when using connection-oriented transports with
-Version 3 or Version 4 of the NFS protocol, and 32768 when using connection-less
-transports.
-The default can be negotiated down if the server prefers a smaller transfer
-size.
-.Qq Write
-operations may not necessarily use the maximum buffer size.
-When using Version 2, the default value is 32768 for all transports.
-.It Sy xattr Ns | Ns Sy noxattr
-Allow or disallow the creation and manipulation of extended attributes.
-The default is
-.Sy xattr .
-See
-.Xr fsattr 5
-for a description of extended attributes.
-.El
-.Sh NFS FILE SYSTEMS
-.Ss Background versus Foreground
-File systems mounted with the
-.Sy bg
-option indicate that
-.Nm mount
-is to retry in the background if the server's mount daemon
-.Pq Xr mountd 1M
-does not respond.
-.Nm mount
-retries the request up to the count specified in the
-.Sy retry Ns = Ns Ar n
-option
-.Po note that the default value for
-.Sy retry
-differs between
-.Nm mount
-and
-.Nm automount ;
-see the description of
-.Sy retry ,
-above
-.Pc .
-Once the file system is mounted, each NFS request made in the kernel waits
-.Sy timeo Ns = Ns Ar n
-tenths of a second for a response.
-If no response arrives, the time-out is multiplied by 2 and the request is
-retransmitted.
-When the number of retransmissions has reached the number specified in the
-.Sy retrans Ns = Ns Ar n
-option, a file system mounted with the
-.Sy soft
-option returns an error on the request; one mounted with the
-.Sy hard
-option prints a warning message and continues to retry the request.
-.Ss Hard versus Soft
-File systems that are mounted read-write or that contain executable files should
-always be mounted with the
-.Sy hard
-option.
-Applications using
-.Sy soft
-mounted file systems can incur unexpected I/O errors, file corruption, and
-unexpected program core dumps.
-The
-.Sy soft
-option is not recommended.
-.Ss Authenticated requests
-The server can require authenticated NFS requests from the client.
-.Sy sec Ns = Ns Sy dh
-authentication might be required.
-See
-.Xr nfssec 5 .
-.Ss URLs and the public option
-If the
-.Sy public
-option is specified, or if the
-.Ar resource
-includes and NFS URL,
-.Nm mount
-attempts to connect to the server using the public file handle lookup protocol.
-See
-.Rs
-.%R WebNFS Client Specification
-.%T RFC 2054
-.Re
-If the server supports the public file handle, the attempt is successful;
-.Nm mount
-does not need to contact the server's
-.Xr rpcbind 1M
-and the
-.Xr mountd 1M
-daemons to get the port number of the
-.Nm mount
-server and the initial file handle of
-.Ar pathname ,
-respectively.
-If the NFS client and server are separated by a firewall that allows all
-outbound connections through specific ports, such as
-.Dv NFS_PORT ,
-then this enables NFS operations through the firewall.
-The public option and the NFS URL can be specified independently or together.
-They interact as specified in the following matrix:
-.Bd -literal
- Resource Style
-
- host:pathname NFS URL
-
-public option Force public file Force public file
- handle and fail handle and fail
- mount if not supported. mount if not supported.
-
- Use Native paths. Use Canonical paths.
-
-default Use MOUNT protocol. Try public file handle
- with Canonical paths.
- Fall back to MOUNT
- protocol if not
- supported.
-.Ed
-.Pp
-A Native path is a path name that is interpreted according to conventions used
-on the native operating system of the NFS server.
-A Canonical path is a path name that is interpreted according to the URL rules.
-See
-.Rs
-.%R Uniform Resource Locators (URL)
-.%T RFC 1738
-.Re
-.Ss Replicated file systems and failover
-.Ar resource
-can list multiple read-only file systems to be used to provide data.
-These file systems should contain equivalent directory structures and identical
-files.
-It is also recommended that they be created by a utility such as
-.Xr rdist 1 .
-The file systems can be specified either with a comma-separated list of
-.Pa host:/pathname
-entries and/or NFS URL entries, or with a comma-separated list of hosts, if all
-file system names are the same.
-If multiple file systems are named and the first server in the list is down,
-failover uses the next alternate server to access files.
-If the read-only option is not chosen, replication is disabled.
-File access, for NFS Versions 2 and 3, is blocked on the original if NFS locks
-are active for that file.
-.Ss File Attributes
-To improve NFS read performance, files and file attributes are cached.
-File modification times get updated whenever a write occurs.
-However, file access times can be temporarily out-of-date until the cache gets
-refreshed.
-.Pp
-The attribute cache retains file attributes on the client.
-Attributes for a file are assigned a time to be flushed.
-If the file is modified before the flush time, then the flush time is extended
-by the time since the last modification
-.Po under the assumption that files that changed recently are likely to change
-soon
-.Pc .
-There is a minimum and maximum flush time extension for regular files and for
-directories.
-Setting
-.Sy actimeo Ns = Ns Ar n
-sets flush time to
-.Ar n
-seconds for both regular files and directories.
-.Pp
-Setting
-.Sy actimeo Ns = Ns Sy 0
-disables attribute caching on the client.
-This means that every reference to attributes is satisfied directly from the
-server though file data is still cached.
-While this guarantees that the client always has the latest file attributes from
-the server, it has an adverse effect on performance through additional latency,
-network load, and server load.
-.Pp
-Setting the
-.Sy noac
-option also disables attribute caching, but has the further effect of disabling
-client write caching.
-While this guarantees that data written by an application is written directly to
-a server, where it can be viewed immediately by other clients, it has a
-significant adverse effect on client write performance.
-Data written into memory-mapped file pages
-.Pq Xr mmap 2
-are not written directly to this server.
-.Ss Specifying Values for Attribute Cache Duration Options
-The attribute cache duration options are
-.Sy acdirmax , acdirmin , acregmax , acregmin ,
-and
-.Sy actimeo ,
-as described under
-.Sx Options.
-A value specified for
-.Sy actimeo
-sets the values of all attribute cache duration options except for any of these
-options specified following
-.Sy actimeo
-on a
-.Nm mount
-command line.
-For example, consider the following command:
-.Bd -literal -offset indent
-example# mount -o acdirmax=10,actimeo=1000 server:/path /localpath
-.Ed
-.Pp
-Because
-.Sy actimeo
-is the last duration option in the command line, its value
-.Pq 1000
-becomes the setting for all of the duration options, including
-.Sy acdirmax .
-Now consider:
-.Bd -literal -offset indent
-example# mount -o actimeo=1000,acdirmax=10 server:/path /localpath
-.Ed
-.Pp
-Because the
-.Sy acdirmax
-option follows
-.Sy actimeo
-on the command line, it is assigned the value specified
-.Pq 10 .
-The remaining duration options are set to the value of
-.Sy actimeo
-.Pq 1000 .
