Network File System (NFS) is a integral part of how our UNIX and UNIX-like operating systems communicate with each other. We utilize both NFSv2 and NFSv3 protocols and do not support NFSv4 at this time. NFSv2 and NFSv3, unlike CIFS, do not have any authentication other than IP-based host authentication. This means many of our core file systems are very restricted to where they can be mounted.
For almost all of our filesystems (home directories, web trees, project storage, etc.), NFS volumes will be automatically mounted via the Automounter.
