How is that done?
I've tried nfs://x.x.x.x/exported_system in the finder but the response is that there are no file systems available. From other linux boxes it works fine.

Thanks for any reply
 
Ive done it in the terminal window - so it can work, I couldnt get it going in the Finder window though - I gave up
 
I've recently found a possible fix for this issue

By default, the Linux implementation of NFS uses a privileged port (i.e. a port lower than 1024) for NFS and denies - for security reasons - cooperation with NFS clients using a non-privileged port. This is exactly what Mac OS X NFS does. So you have to tell the OS X NFS client to use a privileged port when trying to mount an NFS share from a Linux server. This is done with the "-P" option:

mount -o "-P" 192.168.1.75:/usr/export /mnt/share


Does the "nfs://" method use a non privilaged port, where the mount command is now using a privilaged port, by default?
