Having little time to update my blog, I’ve been updating a wiki I keep with various tidbits, so I thought I might as well share a few, they will be appearing on here over the next few days.
First off you will want to open the “Terminal” application, not so much a play on words it is really called Terminal.
Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal
1 | showmount -e aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd |
Where aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd is the IP or FQDN of your NFS server, this command will show a list of mountable exports on the device.
1 | sudo mount -t ntfs aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd:/exported/path ~/Desktop/nfs_folder |
If you look on your desktop you will now see that the folder icon has changed to an aliased drive icon 
NOTE: These changes will not persist through a reboot, I have not yet found a way of doing this short of some apple / automator script to remount the drives on startup.

Might be me being an idiot but there is a finder preferences option that allows you to show connected servers on the desktop automatically without the need to mount them. This just works with all computers on my network whether I have connected them or not. I don’t know how it works on a larger network mind.
Good to see a few more posts appearing on here, they often contain the odd bit of useful information. More WordPress stuff please!

Works for Samba/AFP shares, not for NFS shares I am afraid.
RE: More wordpress …
I Just don’t have time to develop anything at the moment I haven’t been on any development projects for well over a year now, and I don’t see it changing anytime soon :-/
