Mounting Unix Filesystem on OSX

Search versiontracker for NFSManager. That should do what you want. to the best of my knowledge there is no way to nfs mount filesystems from the "Connect to Server..." dialog.
Hope this helps...

As a matter of fact, NFS exports can be mounted via Connect to server.... For a machine called nfsserver which exports /export/home, simply use
and you should see a network mount in Finder and on the Desktop. Unfortunately, it seems to name it after the server. So if you mount more than one, it appears to append -#, ie, nfsserver-1, nfsserver-2, etc.
Code:
nfs://nfsserver/export/homeand you should see a network mount in Finder and on the Desktop. Unfortunately, it seems to name it after the server. So if you mount more than one, it appears to append -#, ie, nfsserver-1, nfsserver-2, etc.

The finder can't mount my FreeBSD or Linux nfs exports because they are served below port 1024.
To get arround this, there is a mount command. Here 's the syntax, I think:
I'll post later today if that doesn't work.. its from memory

No problem mounting Linux RH 7.2 exported filesystems from within the Finder using 'Go' as described above.
Cheers.
kilowatt's right that some OS's won't let the nfs:// method work (the BSD's are one), and Linux may depend on your particular distribution.
One correction, though, is if you need to use the -P switch, be sure to use sudo with the mount command, as -P tells mount to use a reserved port, which only root can do.
