Describe three fields of an NFS entry in the /etc/fstab file.

What will be an ideal response?


The following list describes the fields of an NFS entry:
·      File system - This field defines the storage device.
·      Directory - This field specifies where the file system should be mounted.
·      Type - This field defines the type of file system or partition to be mounted.
·      Options - Defines options for the file system.
·      Dump - The dump utility uses this number (0 or 1) to decide whether the file system should be backed up. A 0 means dump ignores the file system, and a 1 means dump backs it up. This utility isn't installed by default, so make sure it's installed before entering a 1 in this field.
·      Pass - The fsck utility uses this field (0, 1, or 2) to determine the priority in which the file system should be checked. A 0 means fsck doesn't check the file system. A 1, reserved for the root file system, means the highest priority, and a 2 is reserved for all other file systems.
