Mount Linux NFS Share on a Mac

So apparently, you cannot just mount "-t nfs" a Linux NFS share on Mac OS X. Credit for this find goes to: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/apple-mac-osx-nfs-mount-command-tutorial/

Make sure your /etc/exports are right and then check...
$ showmount -e [nfs-server]
 If all is good, mount with the following command (omit the ",rw" if desired)...
$ sudo mount -t nfs -o resvport,rw [nfs-server]:/[exported-dir] [mount-point]
