| -K |
Specifies the NFS version used for this NFS mount. This flag only applies to AIX Version 4.2.1 or later. Options are:

| tcp |
Specifies the TCP protocol. |
| udp |
Specifies the UDP protocol. |
|
| -m MountTypeName |
Specifies the type of file system to mount. File system types are specified in the /etc/filesystems file with the type variables. When the mount -t MountTypeName command is issued, all of the currently unmounted file systems with a type equal to the MountTypeName are mounted. |

| -P PortNumber |
Indicates the Internet Protocol port number for the server. |
| -p NumBiods |
Specifies the number of biod daemons that are allowed to work on a particular file system. The biod daemons handle client requests and the default number of daemons is 6 (six). |
| -Q |
Requests that no posix pathconf information be exchanged and made available
on an NFS Version 2 mount. Requires a mount Version 2 rpc.mountd
at the NFS server. |

| -r TimesToRetry |
Indicates the number of times to retry a mount. The default is 1000. |
| -R NumRetrans |
Specifies, for a soft mount, the number of times that a request
is to be transmitted if it is not acknowledged by the server.
If the request goes unacknowledged after NumRetrans
transmissions, the client gives up on the request. If this

| -S |

| -s |
Instructs the mount to use a more secure protocol. |
| -T AcTimeOut |

| rw |
Mounts the directory read-write. This type is the default for the system. |
| ro |
Mounts the directory read-only. |
|
| -U AcRegMax |
Holds cached attributes for no more than the number of seconds specified by the AcRegMax variable after file modification. |
| -u AcRegMin |
Holds cached attributes for at least the number of seconds specified by the AcRegMin variable after file modification. |
| -V AcDirMax |
Holds cached attributes for no more than the number of seconds specified by the AcDirMax variable after directory update. |
| -v AcDirMin |
Holds cached attributes for at least the number of seconds specified by the AcDirMin variable after directory update. |
| -w Location |
Indicates where the mount should be attempted. The Location variable can have one of the following values:
| fg |
Attempts the mount in the foreground. This is the default value. |
| bg |
Attempts the mount in the background. If background is specified and the attempt to mount the directory fails, the mount will be retried in the background. |
|
| -x |
Specifies that the server does not support long device numbers.
Use this flag when mounting from an NFS server that does not correctly handle device numbers that are 32 bits long. This situation occurs when running an AIX 3.2 diskless client from a third-party server that supports only device numbers that are 16 bits long. |
| -X |
Specifies that the server does support long device numbers. This is the default. |
| -y |
Indicates that the execution of suid and sgid programs is not allowed in this file system. |
| -Y |
Indicates that the execution of suid and sgid programs are allowed in this file system. This is the default. |
