The Startup Item software enables the mounting of NFS filesystems as specified in the /etc/fstab file.
Mac OS X also supports the /etc/fstab file, but it is not the preferred method for specifying the filesystems to be mounted at startup. Instead, Mac OS X uses NetInfo to achieve that. Although, it automatically mounts all the filesystems listed in NetInfo and UFS and HFS filesystems listed in /etc/fstab at startup, it ignores the lines in /etc/fstab that mention NFS filesystems, leading to an issue.
This is where MountNFS comes into play. It is a little startup item that restores the missing functionality so that once installed, NFS filesystems listed in /etc/fstab will be automatically mounted at system startup. With MountNFS, Mac OS X users will have no problems using NFS filesystems as it provides a seamless experience. Therefore, it is a must-have software for anyone who faces this issue.
