mount Option
------------

   This defines the mountpoint at which to place the filesystem.  If the
mountpoint of the filesystem is specified as `default', then the
filesystem will be mounted in the automounter's tree under its volume
name and the mount will automatically be inherited by the automounter.

   Following the mountpoint, namespace information for the filesystem
may be described.  The options that can be given here are `exportfs',
`volname' and `sel'.

   The format is:

     mount       : "mount" vol_tree ;
     
     vol_tree    : list(vol_tree_attr) ;
     
     vol_tree_attr
                 :  <STRING> "{" list(vol_tree_info) vol_tree "}" ;
     
     vol_tree_info
                 : "exportfs" <EXPORT-DATA>
                 | "volname" <VOLNAME>
                 | "sel" <SELECTOR-LIST>
                 ;

   Example:

     mount default {
         exportfs "dylan dougal florence zebedee"
         volname /vol/andrew
     }

   In the above example, the filesystem currently being declared will
have an entry placed into the `exports' file allowing the filesystem to
be exported to the machines `dylan', `dougal', `florence' and
`zebedee'.  The volume name by which the filesystem will be referred to
remotely, is `/vol/andrew'.  By declaring the mountpoint to be
`default', the filesystem will be mounted on the local machine in the
automounter tree, where Amd will automatically inherit the mount as
`/vol/andrew'.

`exportfs'
     a string defining which machines the filesystem may be exported to.
     This is copied, as is, into the `exports' file--no sanity checking
     is performed on this string.

`volname'
     a string which declares the remote name by which to reference the
     filesystem.  The string is entered into a dictionary and allows
     you to refer to this filesystem in other places by this volume
     name.

`sel'
     a string which is placed into the automounter maps as a selector
     for the filesystem.
