Making mounts permanent

Currently, even though we mounted the NFS share with the mount command, this mounted filesystem is not considered persistent. The next time this system reboots, the NFS mount will not be remounted.

That is because as a system boots up, part of the boot process is to read the /etc/fstab file and mount any filesystems defined within it.

To better understand how this works, let's look at the /etc/fstab file on the database server:
