# Mount a NFS share using fstab

### Mount nfs using fstab

The fstab file, generally located at /etc/fstab lists the differents partitions and where to load them on the filesystem. You can edit this file as root by using the following command

    sudo nano /etc/fstab

in the following example, we want to mount a NFS v3 share from : server : 192.168.1.2 mountpoint (on the server) : /volumeUSB2/usbshare * mountlocation (on the client) : /mnt

we specify

    192.168.1.2:/volumeUSB2/usbshare  /mnt  nfs nfsvers=3,users 0  0

the client will then automatically mount the share ont /mnt at startup.
