Improve NFS client performance
Authored by: pmlindner on May 07, '03 02:30:31PM

I remember the NextStep days, so mounting nfs volumes is old hat.

Probably the simplest way is to create an fstab file containing the nfs volumes you want to mount:

<pre>
foo.com:/media /Users/lindner/media nfs rw,intr,bg,rsize=16384,wsize=16384 0 0
foo.com:/home/lindner /Users/lindner/stuff nfs rw,intr,bg,rsize=16384,wsize=16384 0 0
</pre>

Then load it into netinfo like so:

<pre>
niload fstab . < /etc/fstab
</pre>

The automounter should pick up on this right away. It mounts things in /private/automount/actual/path/name and creates a symbolic link to the mount point.

Nice part about this is that everything is mounted on first use, no matter who logs in.

Is there more information on this, aimed specifically at sharing
NFS volumes from linux to OSX? These's hints are a little over
my head.
