I coded a small app to manage your CIFS/NFS network shares on your Android device. It allows you to conveniently mount/unmount your network accessible file resources and transparently access the files via your favourite Android app (playing music / videos, accessing documents etc.).
Elementary support for NFS2/3 shares is included since v1.1.
Prerequisites:
* device must be rooted
* kernel with CIFS support
* Android >= 1.6
Download:
This app is now available in the Android market.
Attention:
Do not download similar named APKs from anywhere else but Android market as doing so puts your device/data at serious risk (Malware, Spyware etc.).

Most Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: When trying to mount a share I only get an error message saying something like...
- "Error running exec().Command: [su]"
A: Most probably your device is not properly rooted or the su command is missing.
- "No such device".
A: Your current kernel or rom lacks the necessary CIFS support. Try to find a matching kernel module (cifs.ko) or use a rom with explicit CIFS support.
- "mounting <yourshare> on <yourmountpoint> failed: No such file or directory"
A: Your "Mount Point" simply does not exist and CifsManager is not able to automatically create it for you. As automatic Mount Point creation is not done with su rights, CifsManager can only create Mount Points in directories with permissions 777 or on your SD-Card.- Q: I have installed CifsManager but launching the app fails with something like "Application not installed on your phone"
A: This is not a problem caused by CifsManager but a bug in your ROMs launcher. Look for an updated version of your launcher.
- Q: I mounted my favorite share successfully but files with special characters are not displayed correctly.
A: Try to use a kernel with explicit UTF-8 support or try to find/load the kernel module nls_utf8.ko.
