MacOS Ventura - mounting local NFS share to root directory with help of synthetic.conf

I already figured a way, and it kinda works, but it just feels wrong. Is there a more proper way to do it? I recently upgraded from Mojave to Ventura and suddenly realized I lost all my root folders, and I'm no longer able to create one. I dug through Q&A and found info about /etc/synthetic.conf - but it could easily create symlinks only, and I found out that typescript-eslint for example cannot work with root symlinks, it needs real directory. My later research resulted in either local NFS share or macFUSE bindfs. I tried first, because it is already installed and seems easier. I had /work and /data directories and I moved them to /opt/work and /opt/data. Created NFS share: - /etc/exports

/opt/data /opt/work 127.0.0.1 ::1

- sudo launchctl start com.apple.rpcbind - sudo nfsd enable - sudo nfsd stop - sudo nfsd start Created empty mount points in root directory: - /etc/synthetic.conf

data
work

Restarted, checked, mount points are created, and showmount -e is ok. Manual NFS mounting is ok too sudo mount -t nfs 127.0.0.1:/opt/data /data, checked, sudo umount /data Now I'm trying to mount these on startup. ### First I tried /etc/fstab - it is not mounted on restart, and sudo automount -cv shows weird error automount: /data points to unexpected location /data, instead of /System/Volumes/Data/data and it also creates symlink /System/Volumes/Data/data -> /opt/data. Root /data remains empty. Here is my part of /etc/fstab

127.0.0.1:/opt/data /data nfs rw,actimeo=1,hard,bg
127.0.0.1:/opt/work /work nfs rw,actimeo=1,hard,bg

### Second I tried /etc/auto_master. I got the same error as above, and after a lot of trial and error I came to this solution: - my part of /etc/auto_master

/-			/etc/auto_nfs

- /etc/auto_nfs

/System/Volumes/Data/../../../data -fstype=nfs,rw,actimeo=1,hard,bg 127.0.0.1:/opt/data
/System/Volumes/Data/../../../work -fstype=nfs,rw,actimeo=1,hard,bg 127.0.0.1:/opt/work

It works, persisted between reboots and sudo automount -cv shows proper

automount: /System/Volumes/Data/home updated (/home -> /System/Volumes/Data/home)
automount: /data updated
automount: /work updated
automount: no unmounts

Is there a proper not hacky way to do this? Why it disallows to mount at root, and expects /System/Volumes/Data? I found some info that you can do data /System/Volumes/Data/data in /etc/synthetic.conf and then mount NFS to /System/Volumes/Data/data - but again - there will be symlink at root.
