Using DFS commands and files

Mounting a remote resource explicitly

To mount a remote resource using the mount command, you must be able to reach, via a network, the server that is sharing the resource you want to mount.

The syntax of the mount command as it relates to mounting distributed file systems is:

mount [-F FSType] [-V] [current_options] [-o specific_options]
[special | mount_point]

mount [-F FSType] [-V] [current_options] [-o specific_options]
special mount_point

See the mount(1M) manual page for an explanation of the options accepted by the mount command.

Resources mounted explicitly with the mount command stay mounted unless you unmount them, using umount, or you exit system state 3. If you exit system state 3 and reenter it, the resource is no longer mounted (unless you edited the /etc/vfstab file to include the mount automatically).

For information about NFS-specific options, see ``Using NFS on a client''. For an illustration of how to mount remote resources, refer to ``Examples: mounting remote resources''.
