A new URL scheme, 'nfs' is defined. It is used to refer to files and directories on NFS servers using the general URL syntax defined in RFC1738, "Uniform Resource Locators (URL)".
This scheme uses the public filehandle and multi-component lookup
[RFC2054, RFC2055] to access server data with a minimum of protocol overhead.
The NFS protocol provides access to shared filesystems across networks. It is designed to be machine, operating system, network architecture, and transport protocol independent. The protocol currently exists in two versions: version 2 [RFC1094] and version 3
[RFC1813], both built on ONC RPC [RFC1831] at its associated eXternal Data Representation (XDR) [RFC1832] and Binding Protocol [RFC1833].
