An alternate way to mount an NFS share from another machine is to add a line to the /etc/fstab
file. The line must state the hostname of the NFS server, the directory on the server being exported, and the directory on the local machine where the NFS share is to be mounted. You must be root to modify the /etc/fstab
file.

server:/usr/local/pub /pub nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr
The mount point /pub
must exist on the client machine before this command can be executed. After adding this line to /etc/fstab
on the client system, type the command mount /pub
at a shell prompt, and the mount point /pub
is mounted from the server.
