MacOS
This example assumes NFSv4 protocol using MacOS System automounter and mapper.
Step 1 - Check NFS Share is Visible
NAS or Gateway Device will be hosting the NFS Shar. If it is the Gateway Device you should see something like the following from the MacOS workstation using showmount -e
MacOS Workstation #> showmount -e flamenco.cluster.home
Exports list on flamenco.cluster.home:
/nfs/share 192.168.57.0/24 192.168.1.0/24
Note
Check your workstation IP Address is one of the export IP ranges.
Step 2 - Create workstation mount location
MacOS Workstation #> sudo mkdir -p /private/nfs/flamenco
Step 3 - Create auto-nfs mount service
Create /etc/auto_nfs file with the following contents…
MacOS Workstation #> sudo nano /etc/auto_nfs
flamenco -fstype=nfs,nfsvers=4,soft,bg,intr,rw,tcp,resvport nfs://flamenco.cluster.home:/nfs/share/flamenco
Enable auto_nfs as a service by adding the following to Automounter Master configuration file /etc/auto_master
MacOS Workstation #> sudo nano /etc/auto_master
#
# Automounter master map
#
+auto_master # Use directory service
#/net -hosts -nobrowse,hidefromfinder,nosuid
/home auto_home -nobrowse,hidefromfinder
/Network/Servers -fstab
/- -static
/private/nfs auto_nfs
Then change the auto_nfs file permissions
MacOS Workstation #> sudo chmod 644 /etc/auto_nfs
Then run the auto-mounter or reboot the workstation.
MacOS Workstation #> sudo automount -cv
automount: /System/Volumes/Data/home updated (/home -> /System/Volumes/Data/home)
automount: /System/Volumes/Data/private/nfs mounted (/private -> /System/Volumes/Data/private)
Step 4 - Verify NFS mount contents
MacOS Workstation #> pwd
/private/nfs/flamenco
MacOS Workstation #> ls
file-store jobs output projects
Troubleshooting
Operation Not Permitted
This is a response from the NFS Server.
MacOS Workstation #> ls /private/nfs/flamenco/
ls: /private/nfs/flamenco/: Operation not permitted
