<div><p><span>The Network File System (NFS) provides
the user with access to data and objects that are stored on a remote NFS server.</span></p>
<div class="section"><p>An NFS server can export a Network File System that NFS clients
will then mount dynamically.</p>
<p> In addition, any file system mounted locally
through the Network File System will have the features, characteristics, limitations,
and dependencies of the directory or file system it was mounted from on the
remote server. Operations on mounted file systems are not performed locally.
Requests flow through the connection to the server and must obey the requirements
and restrictions of the type of file system on the server.</p>

NFS is accessible through the integrated file system interface. Be aware of
these considerations and limitations.</p>
