NFS Issue - jphebert - 20th Nov, 2013 12:27 AM

Hey guys,

Working on my 1st Raspberry-based player and having an issue on mounting NFS drives. Under Raspbmc I was able to mount an NFS drive with "nfs://192.168.0.38/volume1/music" (or the other usual suspects).

My NAS (Synology 212J) lets me know the path for this is "/volume1/video". Under Raspbmc it worked but not under Xbian. I also tried without the "/volume1" part of the path for kicks and no go. My read rights are with a "*" wildcard so should be no issue to access from any device on the NAS.

Any suggestions? Many thanks!

@jphebert

are you talking about mounting NFS exported dir via console or accessing it directly from within XBMC ?

I'm looking to add the shares from within the XBMC U/I

@jphebert

when you are adding the source, instead of adding source manually, click "Browse" -> "Network Filesystem (NFS)". do you see your NAS?

and what is output of

Code:

sudo showmount -e 192.168.0.38

Hiya

When I try to browse nothing happens - I can't navigate anything like when I select UPnP.

For the command here is the output:

Code:

root@xbian:~# sudo showmount -e 192.168.0.38

Export list for 192.168.0.38:

/volume1/music *

/volume1/photo *

/volume1/video *

root@xbian:~#

I've followed the XBMC wiki entry for NFS to set up for my Synology NAS. Under Raspbmc it worked without this set of steps to mount NFS folders.

I would say tbat there is something not right in your network as you are the only one reporting such issue.And most of us using NFS shares from servers me included without a problem.

Hmmm - everything is wired physically (Xbian/NAS), no vlans, nothing weird, flat network. I'll poke at my NAS and see - thanks.

Poked around and the change I made was the 2 latest patches from Synology which added the option for a NFS domain, which I added (workgroup) and huzzah, it works

Glad you got it working. A small point to remember.
