MOUNT_NFS4(8)           FreeBSD System Manager's Manual          MOUNT_NFS4(8)


NAME

     mount_nfs4 -- mount NFSv4 file systems


SYNOPSIS

     mount_nfs4 [-biNPsTU] [-a maxreadahead] [-D deadthresh] [-I readdirsize]
                [-o options] [-R retrycnt] [-t timeout] [-x retrans]
                rhost:path node


DESCRIPTION

     The mount_nfs4 utility calls the mount(2) system call to prepare and
     graft a remote NFSv4 file system (rhost:path) on to the file system tree
     at the point node.  This command is normally executed by mount(8).  It
     implements the NFSv4 protocol as described in RFC 3530, NFS version 4
     Protocol.

     If the server becomes unresponsive while an NFSv4 file system is mounted,
     any new or outstanding file operations on that file system will hang
     uninterruptibly until the server comes back.  To modify this default be-
     haviour, see the -i and -s flags.

     The options are:

     -D      Set the ``dead server threshold'' to the specified number of
             round trip timeout intervals before a ``server not responding''
             message is displayed.

     -I      Set the readdir read size to the specified value.  The value
             should normally be a multiple of DIRBLKSIZ that is <= the read
             size for the mount.

     -N      Do not use a reserved socket port number (see below).

     -P      Use a reserved socket port number.  This flag is obsolete, and
             only retained for compatibility reasons.  Reserved port numbers
             are used by default now.  (For the rare case where the client has
             a trusted root account but untrustworthy users and the network
             cables are in secure areas this does help, but for normal desktop
             clients this does not apply.)

     -R      Set the mount retry count to the specified value.  The default is
             a retry count of zero, which means to keep retrying forever.
             There is a 60 second delay between each attempt.

     -T      Use TCP transport.  This is the default.

     -U      Force the mount protocol to use UDP transport.  This is not sup-
             ported by the version 4 protocol and is provided only for debug-
             ging purposes.

     -a      Set the read-ahead count to the specified value.  This may be in
             the range of 0 - 4, and determines how many blocks will be read
             ahead when a large file is being read sequentially.  Trying a
             value greater than 1 for this is suggested for mounts with a
             large bandwidth * delay product.

     -b      If an initial attempt to contact the server fails, fork off a
             child to keep trying the mount in the background.  Useful for
             fstab(5), where the file system mount is not critical to multi-
             user operation.

     -i      Make the mount interruptible, which implies that file system
             calls that are delayed due to an unresponsive server will fail
             with EINTR when a termination signal is posted for the process.

     -o      Options are specified with a -o flag followed by a comma sepa-
             rated string of options.  See the mount(8) man page for possible
             options and their meanings.  The following NFS specific options
             are also available:

             port=<port_number>
                     Use specified port number for NFSv4 requests.  The
                     default is to use port 2049.  Set this to 0 to query the
                     portmapper for the NFSv4 port.

             acregmin=<seconds>
             acregmax=<seconds>
             acdirmin=<seconds>
             acdirmax=<seconds>
                     When attributes of files are cached, a timeout calculated
                     to determine whether a given cache entry has expired.
                     These four values determine the upper and lower bounds of
                     the timeouts for ``directory'' attributes and ``regular''
                     (i.e., everything else).  The default values are 3 -> 60
                     seconds for regular files, and 30 -> 60 seconds for
                     directories.  The algorithm to calculate the timeout is
                     based on the age of the file.  The older the file, the
                     longer the cache is considered valid, subject to the lim-
                     its above.

             noinet4, noinet6
                     Disables AF_INET or AF_INET6 connections.  Useful for
                     hosts that have both an A record and an AAAA record for
                     the same name.

     -s      A soft mount, which implies that file system calls will fail
             after retrycnt round trip timeout intervals.

     -t      Set the initial retransmit timeout to the specified value.  May
             be useful for fine tuning UDP mounts over internetworks with high
             packet loss rates or an overloaded server.  Try increasing the
             interval if nfsstat(1) shows high retransmit rates while the file
             system is active or reducing the value if there is a low retrans-
             mit rate but long response delay observed.  (Normally, the -d
             option should be specified when using this option to manually
             tune the timeout interval.)

     -x      Set the retransmit timeout count for soft mounts to the specified
             value.

BUGS

     This version of the NFSv4 client, while functional, is a long way from
     compliance with RFC 3530.  It lacks lock state, reboot recovery, delega-
     tion, GSS, and many other mandatory items from the RFC.
