Mac OS X Leopard as NFS Client

1. To mount a NFS share you can use the Finder to mount NFS exports, however, if the NFS server is exporting securely(See here for the reason), you will have to
   • sudo mkdir -p /mnt/my_nfs_share
   • sudo mount_nfs -o resvport nfs_server_host:/path /mnt/my_nfs_share
2. To automount the NFS share:
   • sudo vi /etc/auto_master
     • add /data auto_nfs
   • sudo vi /etc/auto_nfs
     • add entries, e.g. soma -defaults,resvport soma:/store, where soma is the NFS server hostname.
