NFS auto mount

[Confusion]

I have been given the job of reverse engineering a 10.6 image to work as 10.7
I am pretty new to Mac so am still working through everything but I have the image 90% completed.

The last bit is NFS homes, I can get this to work if I go into Disk utility and add the NFS connections from there.

However because I am deploying an instaDMG image I can not set the NFS in the Image so I need a way to push this out. How can you set the nfs mounts via a script?

Has anyone else had to do this?
I can’t find any pges to do with instaDMG and NFS.

If anyone cano point me in the right directin I would really appreciate it.

I tried using a mount -t nfs from a script but it could not authenticate. when you do it through disk utility it doesn’t sk for any credentials.

NFS Mounts that you create with Disk utility are stored in the local directory. You can view and manipulate those entries via dscl e.g.:

mw-003998:~ bochoven$ dscl localhost -read "/Local/Default/NFS/file.vua.local:/usr/local/storage"
AppleMetaNodeLocation: /Local/Default
GeneratedUID: 08FF6D43-3B58-4151-BDD8-0BB3A9D1E3D5
RecordName: file.vua.local:/usr/local/storage
RecordType: dsRecTypeStandard:NFS
VFSLinkDir: /Volumes/storage
VFSOpts: resvport
VFSType: nfs

The other way would be to modify the autofs configuration files to add NFS automounts (auto_master, autofs.conf)
See also the man pages for auto_master:
