Re: mount drive through internet?
The NFS connection is rather sluggish and can be prone to
security problems (like FTP isn't?). There was a kernel mirror
that could be mounted via NFS *or* Samba at one time, but I think it was
they turned those off because of abusers. Now only http and ftp can be used
for that site.
IIRC, mounting an NFS filesystem is the same as any other. Just include
the type.
mount -t nfs <location of filesystem> <local mount point>
for the real answer: man mount
There's probably more to it (your kernel has to be able to
deal with nfs -- or is it a user space client?)
