NFS Client Settings on OSX 10.9

In OSX 10.9 you can specify the options that the Finder uses to connect to NFS shares by putting them in /etc/nfs.conf

For example
#
# nfs.conf: the NFS configuration file
#
nfs.client.mount.options = nolocks,locallocks,intr,soft,nfcple:

This brings back the functionality available in 10.5 an 10.6

I have noticed that where I had to sometimes explicitly specify resvport in 10.5 and 10.6, this no longer seems to be necessary in 10.9

Reset an OSX Server

There's an easy way to reset an OSX 10.8 and 10.9 server back to initial settings.

1. Drag the server app to the trash, the system will detect this and then warn you that it is stopping all services.
2. Rename /Library/Server to /Library/Server.old
3. Reboot the machine ( maybe not necessary, but might be needed to clear any stuck processes )
4. Move the Server app back into Applications
5. Launch it. It will start afresh.
