Traditionally the mount command has looked for a ":" to separate the
server's hostname from the export path in the mounted on device name,
like this:
mount server:/export /mounted/on/dir
The server's hostname is "server" and the export path is "/export".
You can also substitute a specific IPv4 network address for the server
hostname, like this:
mount 192.168.0.55:/export /mounted/on/dir
Raw IPv6 addresses present a problem, however, because they look
something like this:
fe80::200:5aff:fe00:30b
Note the use of colons.
To get around the presence of colons, copy the Solaris convention used for
mounting IPv6 servers by address: wrap a raw IPv6 address with square
brackets.
