[options] share mountpoint |
DESCRIPTION
NOTE! This manual page describes features specific to the rump(3) file server. Please see mount_nfs(8) for a full description of the available command line options.The rump_nfs utility can be used to mount
nfs file systems. It uses
rump(3) and p2k(3) to facilitate running the file system as a server in
userspace. As opposed to
mount_nfs(8), rump_nfs does not use file
system code within the kernel and therefore does not require kernel support
except puffs(4). Apart from a minor speed penalty there is no downside with
respect to in-kernel code.
Even though the rump_nfs file system
client runs within a virtual rump kernel in userspace, it uses host network
services (by means of “rump sockin”). This means that
regardless of whether using rump_nfs or
mount_nfs(8), the same network configurations will be used.
Currently, “sockin” supports IPv4.
To use rump_nfs via
mount(8), the flags -o
rump and -t
nfs should be given. Similarly,
rump_nfs is used instead of
mount_nfs(8) if “rump” is added to the options field of
fstab(5).
