How to : Connect to Ubuntu NFS from Mac OSX Print E-mail
Connect to a Ubuntu Linux NFS server from a Mac running OSX.
This works especially well with Gigabyte ethernet.
firestarter reports a ~ 25 Mbs transfer rate. 

First make sure you have all of the proper packages on the Ubuntu side (tested in Feisty Fawn):

In terminal:

sudo apt-get install nfs-kernel-server nfs-common portmap


Now open /etc/export

In terminal:

sudo vim /etc/exports

add this and save:

/home/whatEverDirectory    192.168.0.104(rw,async,all_squash,insecure,anonuid=1000,anongid=1000) 

restart nfs
 In terminal:

sudo /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart

 

On the Mac client side:

open the finder
In the menu bar: go>Connect to Server

type: nfs://IPAddressOfServer/home/whatEverDirecotry

 

If I ever need to connect from the Linux box to my Mac, I'll update the tutorial later.
