I want to auto mount some NFS shares from my Synology NAS when I boot my Mac. Until recently, I had this working: /etc/automaster: +automaster # Use directory service /net. NFS is the best way to share files and directories over the network between Mac and Linux workstations. This article provides instructions on creating NFS shares in Mac OS X 10.5 or higher.
