Improve NFS client performance
Authored by: nivekinJPN on May 15, '06 01:23:24PM

To get my export mounted on osX as a writeable volume I had to make sure the uid/gid were the same on MacOSX and FreeBSD.
so my /etc/exports file looks like this:
/AD0 -alldirs -maproot=1001 192.168.0.2

Be careful on FreeBSD. it's different syntax than the linux exports file. the (rw, insecure) doesn't work.
I changed my uid/gid in netinfo manager on mac from 501 to 1001 to macth them on FreeBSD. be careful as you will loose customization of your Desktop and Finder and may have to "chown -R username:groupname /Users/username" after you do that as most of your files /folders in /Users/username will be owned by the previous uid, namely 501 for most default user accounts from original install.
