i have a NFS mounted drive and i can see it and do things with it using Terminal. i know where it is supposed to be.
i can not find it in Finder - /Volumes and some other directories are not shown in Finder. how do i see these directories in Finder?
MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.6.8), NFS mount
Open the Script Editor or AppleScript Editor in one of the subfolders of Applications and run the following:
tell application "Finder" to quit
if (do shell script "defaults read com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles") is "1" then
do shell script "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 0"
else
do shell script "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 1"
end if
delay 2
tell application "Finder" to run
If you change your mind later, run the script again.

Is the NFS volume actually mounted under /Volumes/name_of_the_NFS_volume ?
If it is mounted somewhere else, then maybe you should consider changing the mount point.
Or create a Unix symlink from /Volumes to where it is actually mounted
ln -s /path/where/you/mounted/the/nfs/volume /Volumes/my_name_of_NFS_volumeit is mounted under /Volumes/name_of_the_NFS_volume
I like the /Volumes, /private, and /usr directories visable in the Finder. So, I just fire up the Terminal.app and type the following->
sudo chflags nohidden /Volumes /private /usrhow do i see directories such as /Volumes in Finder?
