'node' is the node in your existing filesystem which you want to overlay with
the NFS filesystem that you are mounting.

For example, if a server 'bighost' exports its /homes directory, you might use


myclient% mkdir /bighost-files      # do this the 1st time only
myclient% mount -t nfs bighost:/homes /bighost-files
