# Sample fstab entries... # # The samples are commented out using ';' where as comments about the # samples are commented out with '#'. # # A /default/ entry can be used to alter the system defaults. # This one will change the default authentication method from using # pcnfsd to bwnfsd and make entries not mount automatically. ; /default/ auth=bwnfsd noauto # Altered defaults continue until the next /default/ entry # The following entry resets the defaults to the system defaults as # described in the manual. ; /default/ # A final note on defaults... if you ever use a full-form mount # request on the mount command line (specifying a server:filesystem # and any options), then the defaults in effect at the *end* of the # fstab file will be used for the mount. If the fstab can't be # found or opened, then mount will silently use the system defaults, # but if there are any syntax or other errors in the fstab, mount will # fail; you can temporarily rename the fstab file or comment out all # entries in it to get around this when debugging. # The following entry mounts /usr/src from machine 'professor'. # If the user is "logged in" to this NFS, the user's name and password # will be used for the pcnfsd query, else the user will be prompted # for a name and password and given three tries to get the pair right. # The filesystem is mounted on the first available PC drive letter. # This is the simplest form. # ; professor:/usr/src # And this entry mounts the same filesystem using uid = gid = -2 # without querying an authentication server. ; professor:/usr/src auth=none # This entry mounts /usr/src from 'professor' onto drive e: using # a username of 'bill'. The user will be prompted for a password # and given three tries to get it right (always for user 'bill'). # Pcnfsd version 1 is used for authentication using TCP protocol # on the port returned from the portmapper on the server. # ; professor:/usr/src e: user=bill auth=pcnfsdv1,0/tcp # This entry is the same as the last one except pcnfsdv2 is used on # explicit port 755 using the default protocol, UDP. ; professor:/usr/src e: user=bill auth=755 # and this entry is exactly equivalent to the previous entry ; professor:/usr/src e: user=bill auth=755/udp,pcnfsdv2 # This entry mounts /usr from 'gilligan' onto the first available # drive letter. The username 'bill' with password 'mypass' is # used regardless of the login status of the user, BUT because of # the 'noauto' flag, this filesystem won't be mounted automatically # when the '-l' or '-a' flags are used with mount. For this reason, # we give the filesystem an alias of "maniac" so that we may mount # it with the command... "mount maniac". # # This entry also serves to illustrate that a particular entry can # span multiple lines.
