== Mounting an NFS Filesystem on System Startup ==
It is possible to configure an Ubuntu Linux system to automatically mount a remote file system each time the system starts up. This is achieved by editing the /etc/fstab file. To do this use sudo to load the /etc/fstab file into your favorite editor. It will likely look something like the following:
<pre>
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
# /dev/sda1
UUID=bcde7125-d38d-4362-bcd8-c64f2b512760 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
# /dev/sda5
UUID=b4ff42fa-7c9a-4c26-a640-b0af94f14820 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0
</pre>
To mount, for example, a folder with the path /home/demo which resides on a system called ubuntu2 in the local folder with the path /nfsmount add the following line to the fstab file:
<pre>
ubuntu2:/home/demo /nfsmount nfs
</pre>
