You’re very welcome!
By automounting, do you mean it remains unmounted until accessed (mount-on-demand) or automagically mount when the computer boots?
Because my backup drive in mount-on-demand with that, following that exact tutorial, and it works like an absolute charm, so I’m going to go ahead and guess it would work for NFS as well.
Perhaps if you share more information you’d get better help.
