38.3 Importing File Systems Manually

File systems can also be imported manually from an NFS server. The prerequisite for
this is a running RPC port mapper, which can be started by entering rcportmap
start as root. Once this prerequisite is met, remote exported file systems can be
mounted in the file system just like local hard disks using the mount command in the
following manner:
mount host:remote-path local-path
If user directories from the machine sun, for example, should be imported, use the fol-
lowing command:
mount sun:/home /home
