Two things to be aware of on a Mac
1) default mounts are from a non-privileged port. So your exports on
CentOS needs to have 'insecure' as an option
eg
/directory mac_client(no_root_squash,async,insecure)
2) The MacOS X automounter doesn't play nice with all GUI applications. eg
I had my mp3 collection exported and automounted on the Mac; iTunes played
it fine. Until I left it idle and the filesystem unmounted. Then when
I told iTunes to play it couldn't find the files. 'cos iTunes maintains
a HFS+ path and it couldn't resolve the top of the path 'cos the file
system was unmounted so it never caused the automounter to wake up.
So static mounts and "insecure" and it works.
For some values of; with 10.5 if I tried to use DVD Player to play VOB
files then the Mac would reliably kernel crash after a few minutes.
Heheheheh.
