# Configuring for Network Filesystems

While LFS is capable of mounting network file systems such as NFS, these are not mounted by the `mountfs` init script. Network file systems must be mounted after the networking is activated and unmounted before the network goes down. The `netfs` bootscript was written to handle both boot-time mounting of network filesystems, if the entry in `/etc/fstab` contains the `_netdev` option, and unmounting of all network filesystems before the network is brought down.

As the `root` user, install the `/etc/rc.d/init.d/netfs` bootscript included with the blfs-bootscripts-20251220 package.
