Preparing a NAS for backup with rsync I wanted to copy initial data with nfs because of higher transfer speed.

The NAS nfs export mounts fine on a linux box but not from osx 10.5.8. Some search revealed that

  • /etc/hosts on the NAS should have an entry for the osx machine [1]
    (e.g. 1.2.3.9 my_osx_box)
  • instead of mount 1.2.3.4:/share /mnt use mount_nfs -P 1.2.3.4:/share /mnt [2]
    (or add insecure to /etc/exports on the NAS)
