NFS client?

Is is possible to mount a NFS filesystem on ChromeOS? If yes, how?

you don't really need userland software to do a nfs mount.  you'll need stuff if you want to do locking/userid sync/etc..., but that stuff is boring ;).  just do like `mount -i <nfs mount> <local mount> -o nolock,tcp,nfsver=3` and such.

you will however need the kernel drivers for the nfs filesystem and we don't enable that by default.  so you'd have to do a custom build with USE=nfs:
 USE=nfs ./build_packages ....

Is is possible to NFS mount from crosh or do I have to switch to developer mode in order to do a NFS mount? I would like to mount some files from a Linux server on a stock ChromeBox. If not, Is it possible to use sshfs from crosh?

it is not possible to mount NFS today in CrOS unless you compile & boot your own image

sshfs is available if you use dev_install.  see this doc:
