quite a few not mentioned in this chapter, are available for exporting
NFS filesystems or mounting them as a client. Consult these sources of
information for more details.

look at various NFS configurations and their impact on file
transfer performance.
The following man pages are very helpful:

at mount options for both NFS server and client
configurations.
fstab — Gives details for the
format of the /etc/fstab file used to
mount filesystems at system boot.
nfs — Provides detail on NFS-specific
filesystem export and mount options.

in the /etc/exports file when exporting
NFS filesystems.
Managing NFS and NIS by Hal Stern, Mike

an excellent reference guide for the many different NFS export and
mount options available.
