Overview

Nov 03, 2018 Network File System (NFS), a distributed file system protocol developed by Sun Microsystems. NFS is the common for file sharing on NAS server and Linux / UNIX systems like, HP-UX, Solaris, Mac OS X,. Once connected, you can now browse the files on your Mac. If you don't see your Mac show up in Network, you can try a direct connection: Press the Windows Key and tap R. The run dialog box appears; Type in followed by the NetBIOS name of your Mac. For example: MACBOOKPRO-10CC. You can now browse the files of your Mac.

Although SMB is the prefered protocol for connecting Macs to shares, in multi-operating system environments, there are times when you need to connect to an NFS share instead. This tutorial covers guiding you through it on network that does not have central user identity infrastructure, like NIS or LDAP.

Prepare the NFS Share on the Server

We need to create an account for you on the NFS server and then map your OS X user and group ids to it’s. Without this, and unless you have NIS or some other central user database, you will not be able to access the share.

  1. Log onto the NFS server.
  2. Create your user account. We’re going set the User and Group IDs to 5000.
  3. Set a password for our NFS user account. Make sure it’s complex.
  4. Open the exports file into a text editor, like VI or Nano.
  5. Add the following line, replacing the highlighted values to match your environment.
  6. Save your changes and exit the text editor.
  7. Make sure your export has the appropriate permissions. In our example, we need to make macuser the owner and group for it.
