No support for nfs:// URI in Nautilus

[Lex Ross]

Binary package hint: nautilus

I need to mount NFS shares to my my laptop at work, and had discovered that there is no NFS entry in 'Places -> Connect to server...' drop down menu. I then selected Service Type: "Other" to no avail. Whether I use 'nfsserver:/share' or 'nfs://nfsserver/share' URI it fails to connect and asks me to enter a server name, which is already there!

Next, I fed nfs://nfsserver/share path into Nautilus and it said that nfs:// URI was not supported.

I do have nfs-common package installed and can mount NFS shares using 'sudo mount nfsserver:/share /mnt' command in the terminal. It would be really nice to have support for mounting NFS shares in Nautilus/GNOME though.
