Usage

Resources

this cookbook provides the nfs resource
```
include_recipe 'autofs'

autofs_nfs '/mnt/nfs' do
mount_point '/mnt/nfs'
server 'tinynfs-server.home'
export '/example/remote_path/'
mount_options '-fstype=nfs3'
end
```

This will add the following entry to /etc/auto.nfs
/mnt/nfs tinynfs-server.home:/example/remote_path/ -fstype=nfs3
