Instead of mounting shares manually every time at login, one can use autos. I have followed the guide here

So in my case I created a file /etc/fstab and inserted a file for the home directory on my server (local ip: 192.168.1.40):

1192.168.1.40:/jesper /Users/jesper/tranquil/jesper url automounted,url==afp://jesper:PASSWORD@192.168.1.40/jesper 0 0

Then I created the directory locally on my laptop: /Users/jesper/tranquil/jesper

And ran:

1sudo automount -vc

And wupti I could cd into /Users/jesper/tranquil/jesper and the Mac mounted it and it worked just like any other directory on the laptop :-)
