nsmount(1M) nsmount(1M) NAME nsmount - mount name service filesystem SYNOPSIS nsmount [-vx][-d mountpoint] [-i pid] [-o options] -p port DESCRIPTION nsmount attaches the filesystem provided by the nsd(1M) daemon. Nsd satisfies the requests using directory service protocols and caches them in memory then provides the data as a filesystem using the nfs(4) protocol. There may be no actual remote filesystem containing the data. This command is executed directly by the nsd daemon so there is rarely any need for it to be run separately. OPTIONS -d mountpoint Uses the given local directory as the mountpoint for the filesystem. The default is /ns. The name service API routines ns_lookup(3C) and ns_list(3C) expect there to be a /ns filesystem mounted which provides any remote name service data, so changing the mountpoint should be done with care. The mountpoint is marked as being of type nsd to prevent inadvertent unmounting of NSD filesystem with the rest of nfs mounts. -i pid This is the process ID of the nsd process supplying the data. Nsmount will register an exitop for this process which marks this mount as stale if the nsd daemon should die. Any requests subsequently made to this filesystem will timeout immediately. The pid defaults to the parent process ID. -p port This specifies the port on which nsd is listening on the local host. This is logged with syslogd(1M) as part of the nsd process startup. -v This option enables verbose mode. -x This option specifies that the SGI extended attribute protocol should be supported. This makes nsd extended attributes available using the attr command. -o options NFS-like options to control parameters of nfs(4) protocol used to communicate with nsd(1M).
