Whilst Mac OS X will automatically mount all filesystems listed in NetInfo and UFS and HFS filesystems listed in /etc/fstab at startup, it will ignore the lines in /etc/fstab referring to NFS. The mount command calls the mount(2) system call to prepare and graft a special device or the remote node (rhost:path) on to the file system tree at the point node. If either specialor nodeare not provided, the appropriate information is taken from the fstab(5) file. Mounty is using the Apple kernel driver. It allows read/write mount of NTFS drives only with the 'nobrowse' option. The mount point becomes hidden and disappears from Desktop and Finder menu. To make it easier to re-locate the drive I have added the 'Show in Finder' option in Mounty menu. My USB stick will not re-mount. The NFS protocol uses ports 2049 and 111,2 and the Mac's built-in firewall blocks these by default. Open 'System Preferences, Sharing', and go to the 'Firewall' tab. You will see a list of network services that you can click on to enable or disable access - however, NFS is not on the list. Before the Amazon EFS mount helper was available, we recommended mounting your Amazon EFS file systems using the standard Linux NFS client. For more information on those changes, see Mounting File Systems Without the EFS Mount Helper.
Assume we have 2 Macs, Mac1 and Mac2. This document will help you to create a NFS share on Mac1 and access it from Mac2. Mac2 will preserve the mount during reboots.
3 Steps total
Step 1: To create an NFS share on Mac1
Open SSH terminal on Mac1
Type in 'sudo nfsd enable'
This starts the nfs server and sets it to startup on reboot.
Edit /etc/exports (create if it does not exist)
Type the full path of the folder you want to share.
Optional: Use the '-alldirs' option to allow clients to mount any directory under there.
If your UIDs across machines do not match the '-mapall' will map all IDs with an ID that has access to the directory.
You can find your ID by typing 'id' at the terminal on Mac1.
The /etc/exports on the Mac1 will looks like this (I have used the Macintosh HD volume in this example; you can add/edit lines if you need to share more volumes).
/Volumes/Macintosh HD -mapall=501
Verify the mount using the command 'showmount -e'
(You will see the following output on Mac1)
'/Volumes/Macintosh HD Everyone'
Step 2: To mount this share from Mac2
Open SSH terminal on Mac2
Type in 'cd / && sudo nano .nfsmount.sh'

Copy and paste the following lines to the nano editor
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
mkdir /Volumes/Mac1-Macintosh-HD
sudo mount -o rsize=32768,wsize=32768,intr,noatime -t nfs Mac1 (or IP Address):/Volumes/ Macintosh HD /Volumes/Mac1-Macintosh-HD
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Save and exit the nano editor
This will create a Bash script to create a directory called Mac1-Macintosh-HD under /Volumes and map the Mac1 volume under it.
Set the permissions of the script for root access only:
Type in 'sudo chown -R root:admin .nfsmount.sh'
Now make the script executable:
Type in 'sudo chmod u=rwx .nfsmount.sh'
Now we'll need to create a .plist file for launchd to handle the script, do the following:
Type in 'cd /Library/LaunchDaemons && sudo nano nfsmount.plist'

UserName
root
GroupName

RunAtLoad
Debug
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Save and exit the editor and then change the necessary permissions
Type in 'sudo chown -R root:wheel nfsmount.plist'
Next, we'll load the plist into launchd:
Type in 'sudo launchctl load nfsmount.plist'
Confirm that the plist loaded:
Type in 'sudo launchctl list | grep nfsmount'
If the plist name appears, it's installed.
Mac Nfs Client
Open SSH terminal on Mac1
Type in 'sudo nfsd enable'
This starts the nfs server and sets it to startup on reboot.
Edit /etc/exports (create if it does not exist)
Type the full path of the folder you want to share.

Verify the mount using the command 'showmount -e'
(You will see the following output on Mac1)

Step 2: To mount this share from Mac2
Open SSH terminal on Mac2
Type in 'cd / && sudo nano .nfsmount.sh'

Mac Mount Nfs Share
Reboot Mac2 and check if the Mac1 volume is accessible under /Volumes/Mac1-Macintosh-HD
Done!
To remove the .plist, type the following:
Type in 'sudo launchctl unload -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/nfsmount.plist'

Standard best practices for the location(s) on a Unix system for custom scripts are /usr/local/bin or /opt/local/bin
(although the 'opt' directory is commonly used by MacPorts or other custom tools)Rather than as a hidden file on the top level of the drive.

The computer is called a Mac (short for Macintosh), not a MAC. Generally, MAC refers to Media Access Control, a hardware identifier assigned to a network interface.
