6 mount.nbd - mount helper for *nbd* fstab entries
12 nbd://$host/$export $mount *nbd* _options_ _dumpflag_ _fscheckorder_
17 # mount.nbd nbd://$host/$export $mount -o _options_
22 This is a helper program (script) for mounting NBD (Network Block
23 Device) partitions via `/etc/fstab` entries. The program starts an
24 `nbd-client` connection for the given _export name_ from the NBD
25 server _host_ using the first available nbd device and mounts that
26 device on the given mount point, and it further starts a monitor
27 daemon that disconnects the service upon unmounting.
31 The following options are available in addition to file system mount
34 > **block_size**=__N__ - to use block size _N_
36 > **connections=**__N__ - to use _N_ server connections
38 > **timeout=**__N__ - to disconnect when idle for _N_ seconds
40 The program also uses the *-persist* option for `nbd-client`.
