MOUNT
MOUNT
Makes a physically remote file system accessible to local users.
Applies to: NFS client
Mounts a remote directory to local device DNFSn:. Similar in function to the
UNIX /etc/mount command, MOUNT gives a file system a UNIX path name. (In
format and style, MOUNT resembles the DCL command MOUNT.)
You can mount either OpenVMS or UNIX file systems.

Restrictions and Tips
If you mount remote OpenVMS directories where the NFS server is running
TCP/IP Services software, use the /NOADF qualifier on the MOUNT command
line unless you are using the OpenVMS-to-OpenVMS integration feature.
The /NOADF requirement applies only if the remote NFS server is running
versions of TCP/IP Services earlier than Version 3.3 and cannot participate in
OpenVMS-to-OpenVMS mode operation. Other tips include:
• For the qualifiers that require a time value, specify OpenVMS delta time.
• Whenever you specify multiple options and values, use the following syntax:
