Mounting NFS Exports on Linux
-----------------------------

You can mount an NFS export created in Virtuozzo Infrastructure Platform like any other directory exported via NFS. You will need the share hostname (or IP address) and the volume identifier. For example:

::

   # mount -t nfs -o vers=4.0 -o sec=krb5 share1.example.com:/0200000000000002/export1 /mnt/nfs

where:

- ``-o vers=4.0`` is the NFS version to use. To use pNFS, change ``-o vers=4.0`` to ``-o vers=4.1``. In all other cases, make sure to always specify NFS version 4.0 or newer.

- ``-o sec=krb5`` is required if your service provider uses Kerberos authentication in NFS shares.

- ``share1.example.com`` is the share hostname. You can also use IP addresses.

- ``/0200000000000002/export1`` is the path to export.

- ``/mnt/nfs`` is an existing local directory to mount the export to.
