[macosx-unix] passing nfs mount options in finder

[Place, Robert (IT)]

Mac OS X also runs amd by default. I find setting up the configs for that is best as it will only try and mount when you try to access it and if you stop accessing it will automatically unmount it for you. This is especially handy on laptops. 

Man amd for more details or have a look here for some good info on:

Hey Pete,

To get all the options, I had to use Directory Services. I don't think
you can pass any options in the apple-k finder dialog. You can pass it
all the ... ah fer chrissake... Sorry it's in Netinfo Manager
application which... I don't know why it's two seperate utilities.
Anyway... I think you can only pass options via the shell command you
have below, or from setting it up in /mounts in Netinfo Manager.
If you play with the /etc files you can use the automount.conf and
fstab. But I never got that to work for me.
I'm sure you know all this, but anyway this is all I know about the topic.
