Use NFS instead of vboxsf in Docker Machine

docker-machine-use-nfs.sh

#!/bin/bash

#
# This script will mount /Users in the boot2docker VM using NFS (instead of the
# default vboxsf). It's probably not a good idea to run it while there are
# Docker containers running in boot2docker.
#
# Usage: sudo ./boot2docker-use-nfs.sh
#

and a little more info on it:

$ sudo bash -x docker-machine-use-nfs.sh

• docker-machine ssh default
• grep 'already mounted'
  machine does not exist
• '[' 1 == 0 ']'
• '[' root '!=' root ']'
  ++ sudo -u ekkis docker-machine ip default
• B2D_IP=192.168.99.100
• '[' 192.168.99.100 == '' ']'
  ++ ifconfig en0
  ++ grep --word-regexp init
  ++ awk '{print $2}'
• OSX_IP=192.168.1.67
• MAP_USER=ekkis
  ++ sudo -u ekkis id -n -g
• MAP_GROUP=staff
• RESTART_NFSD=0
• EXPORTS_LINE='/Users -mapall=ekkis:staff 192.168.1.67'
• grep '/Users -mapall=ekkis:staff 192.168.1.67' /etc/exports
• '[' 0 '!=' 0 ']'
• NFSD_LINE='nfs.server.mount.require_resv_port = 0'
• grep 'nfs.server.mount.require_resv_port = 0' /etc/nfs.conf
• '[' 0 '!=' 0 ']'
• '[' 0 == 1 ']'

interestingly, I can do docker-machine ssh default and get into the machine... thoughts?
