To view disk usage for NFS mounted disks
NFS (Network File System) was developed by Sun Microsystems to allow a Unix host to use disk space on a remote machine as if it were local storage. Spotlight provides a shortcut option to allow you to show or hide disk usage for NFS mounted disks.
Right-click the Filesystems page and select Show NFS mounted Filesystems.
