you can use fstab, or the automounter (amd), which basically automatically 
mounts anything you need when you try to access it. for example when you access 
/host/my.nfs.server/photos , amd will mount the photos export from 
my.nfs.server into that path. 

pretty cool.

Hi,

Essentially, yes. Fstab is the appropriate place. To get you started,
here's (from memory) a line in my fstab file. (Sorry for the top-post
and vagueness by the way, typing from my mobile while on the train to
work...)

server:/path/to/host/share /mount/path/on/guest nfs
rw,tcp,intr,other_options_here 0 0

Best of luck,

Paul Fraser

Hello,

A couple of days ago someone pointed me to mount_nfs to mount network file
share (thanks!). And now I wonder what I need to do to automatically mount
it at boot time.

Is this done by editing fstab? But how do I save the password that needs
to be given while mounting the share?

Thank you in advance!
