How to automount NFS on Mac

Lots of misinformation out there but it is simple, you just edit fstab like you would on Linux with the caveat of using vifs to do it.

  1. Run the command in terminal with sudo
    sudo vifs

  2. Add the config using this template and save
    server:sharedir localmountpoint nfs rw
    For example:
    connorbey13.com:/home/connorbey13 /Users/connorbey13/Mounts/mount1 nfs rw

  3. Activate the changes
    sudo automount -cv

All done!
