- .SH NAME
- nfsmount \- a Sprite-to-NFS filesystem gateway
- .SH SYNOPSIS
- \fBnfsmount\fR [\fB\-t\fR] \fIhost:/filesystem /prefix\fR
- .SH OPTIONS
- .IP "\fB\-t\fR" 14
- Trace each access to the remote file system.
- .IP "\fB\-m \fIlocal-name remote-name\fR" 14
- Specify logical mount points within the namespace. See commentary
- below. \fIlocal-name\fR is the sub-mount point relative to \fI/prefix\fR.
- \fIremote-name\fR is an absolute path specifying the Sprite remote link.

- .SH INTRODUCTION
- .PP
- \fBNfsmount\fP is a pseudo-filesystem server that provides access
- to a remote NFS file system. The first argument is a host name,
- a separating colon (`:'), and a file system on that host.
- The second argument is a Sprite prefix under which the remote
- file system will be visible. The server is still very simple,
- although quite functional. Each operation
- causes an RPC to the remote host; there is no caching yet.
- .PP
- Real NFS allows one filesystem to be mounted onto another NFS filesystem.
- This doesn't work in Sprite because Sprite requires a remote link
- (see ln command) for each NFS filesystem and it is not possible to create
- one of these within the parent NFS filesystem. Consequently, the subsidiary
- filesystem must be mounted elsewhere in the Sprite tree. Then the
- parent nfsmount program must be told that there is a logical mount
- point within its namespace using the -m option. The first argument is
- the name (relative to the root of the parent tree) where the mount point
- logically exists. The second parameter is the absolute path of the
- remote link where the child NFS tree is really mounted in Sprite.
- .SH BUGS
- The \fBgetpwd()\fR library call doesn't work yet because it can't find
- the ``inode'' number of the prefix correctly. This is fixable
- but may not happen right away. A related problem is that the
- \fBdf\fP command won't report disk space.
