NFSMount - a handy GUI tool to manage NFS shares

NFSMount is a native Haiku application (built with BeAPI) that provides a graphical user interface for managing NFS shares, allowing users to mount and unmount shares as well as export and import saved configurations. The tool is designed for the desktop-first Haiku operating system, offering a convenient alternative to command-line NFS management. It has been tested on Haiku revision hrev59729 with an NFSv4 server running Unraid 6.12.13, and the developer welcomes testers, feedback, and contributions for other NFS versions and hardware.

(note: this is LLM based development) I’d like to introduce NFSMount - a handy GUI tool to manage NFS shares! This is a native Haiku app (BeAPI, not QT or any like that) which can mount and unmount NFS shares, as well as export and import saved configurations via a flattened BMessage. Yes, you can do it all via the command line… but who wants to do that in a desktop-first OS? Tested on hrev59729 with a NFSv4 server (Unraid 6.12.13). Testers, issues, feature ideas, and PRs welcome! I’d love to hear feedback if anyone can test it on NFSv2 or NFSv4 on other hardware like a QNAP or Synology NAS. If you run into issues, please feel free to log an issue on github and include the syslog and/or screenshots. Links:
