How to Mount an NFS File System

This procedure shows how to access or mount an NFS file system from a known server.

    % pfexec mount -F nfs -o ro bee:/export/share/local /mnt

    In this example, the /export/share/local file system from the server bee is mounted read only on /mnt on the local system. Mounting from the command line enables temporary viewing of the file system. You can unmount the file system with the umount command or by rebooting the local host.

    As with the procedure "How to Find Available NFS File Systems," I find it a bit odd to include the numeral '1' in this single-step procedure. I'd suggest removing the numeral and rewording to something like:

    "Use the following command to access or mount an NFS file system from a known server:" Then, follow with the command syntax and the explanatory text.
