Greg,
Thank you for posting this. I have been looking into the
best way to do this also, without using the GUI of "NetInfo Manager".
The way that I was mounting my NFS volumes was in the NFS
startup items, in the same place where you added the
'automount....' line. I was just using mount_nfs command.
This worked, but I think that automount is the correct way
to mount the drives.
The only warning that I heard from Apple about modifying
the NFS startup items is that system updates may clobber
the changes. I update the OS of the render machines very
rarely, but this is still good info to know.
The command 'nicl' allows command line control of
"NetInfo Manger." I have some notes on adding mount
points from the command line that I can send you,
after I find them ;)
Let me know what you think,
- David
