/etc/fstab

An example entry is as follows:

xeno:/extra  /workarea  nfs  rw,_netdev

This means that the node with this fstab file entry mounts the file system named /extra, which is exported from the system named xeno, and mounts it at /workarea. The file system can be read from and written to. The _netdev option means that the file system is not mounted until the network is up.
