The file system
type is nfs, and read (rsize) and write (wsize) buffer sizes (discussed in the section ???Using
mount Options??? later in this chapter) are set at 8192 to speed data transfer associated with this
connection. In the second example, the remote directory is /apps on the computer named oak. It
is set up as an NFS file system (nfs) that can be mounted on the /oak/apps directory locally.
This file system is not mounted automatically (noauto), however, and can be mounted only as
read-only (ro) using the mount command after the system is already running.
The default is to mount an NFS file system as read/write. However, the default for
exporting a file system is read-only. If you are unable to write to an NFS file system,
check that it was exported as read/write from the server.
Mounting noauto File Systems
Your /etc/fstab file may also contain devices for other file systems that are not mounted automatically.
For example, you might have multiple disk partitions on your hard disk or an NFS
shared file system that you might want to mount only occasionally. A noauto file system can be
mounted manually. The advantage is that when you type the mount command, you can type less
information and have the rest filled in by the contents of the /etc/fstab file.
