Issue with Mavericks and NFS home directories

After upgrading, the automount doesn't mount NFS home directories anymore from the Open Directory mounts node. The automount is set to /Volumes/nfshome however automount no longer creates the directory nfshome in Volumes and it dies with a message saying there is no such mount point.

I too was having this problem: OS X Server 10.6.8 going to 10.9.2 clients. All my other mounts (created via NFS Manager) were working just fine, just not the one for homedirs (which was an old one I'd set up in Server Admin). Once I deleted the homedir share from there and added it to the ones created using NFS Manager, my homedirs started being getting mounted again. Somehow some OpenLDAP automounts property must have changed in Mavericks and as a result the autofs triggers never got installed. Or something like that...

Everybody seem to have disregarded your post but that was exactly my problem too! I commented out the AUTOMOUNT_MNTOPTS line in /etc/autofs.conf and it started working right away after an automount -vc.

Thanks so much for sharing your discovery!
