The rump_nfs utility can be used to mount
    nfs file systems. It uses
    rump(3) and
    p2k(3) to facilitate running the
    file system as a server in userspace. As opposed to
    mount_nfs(8),
    rump_nfs does not use file system code within the
    kernel and therefore does not require kernel support except
    puffs(4). Apart from a minor
    speed penalty there is no downside with respect to in-kernel code.
Even though the rump_nfs file system
    client runs within a virtual rump kernel in userspace, it uses host network
    services (by means of “rump sockin”). This means that
    regardless of whether using rump_nfs or
    mount_nfs(8), the same
    network configurations will be used. Currently, “sockin”
    supports IPv4.
To use rump_nfs via
    mount(8), the flags
    -o rump and
    -t nfs should be given.
    Similarly, rump_nfs is used instead of
    mount_nfs(8) if
    “rump” is added to the options field of
    fstab(5).
rump_nfs utility first appeared in
  NetBSD 5.0.
