NFS mounting on ESXi 5

Hi. This should be pretty straightforward...

/etc/fstab exists on ESXi 5. If you mount an NFS filesystem from a remote server, that is not listed in the fstab file, I think the following should work:

# esxcfg-nas -a <data-store name> -o <host-name or ip-address of NAS> -s <NAS share-path>

Does anyone have an example of what an fstab entry should look like and what the form of the command should be (if the capability exists), to just issue the "esxcfg-nas" command w/o any optoins, that will read the fstab file and perform the NFS mount? Just wondering what the file (fields) should look like.

Thx.
