Dynamic automounting of NFS volumes
Authored by: robleach on Jun 30, '03 01:11:25PM

OK, so this hint is great. I've used it a good bit. However, now I have a new laptop and when I log in to my remote account via an nfs mount, I end up with a lot of questionmarks in my dock. This is because they are links to locally stored applications on my original computer. So I tried to apply the same procedure listed here to mount the disks on my other G4. I don't get the same permission denied error I ran into when mounting the nfs disks. Instead, I get port mapper failures when I try to mount on the command line. I've tried specifying the type as nfs, hfs, and hfs+ all with the same result.

First of all, there's got to be an easier way to mount a remote mac disk in the same manner I have the nfs disks mounted. Second, if this should work, what do I need to do?
