How to mount NFS share?

[mk01]

I read that i have to edit the /etc/fstab file but i still don't know how. I created a new folder (/media/shows). How do i point the NFS share (IP is 192.168.1.234 and the folder /Volumes/Shows/) in the correct way in /etc/fstab?
Do i have to do something else later? Except from adding the directory in XBMC of course?

Thanks for your help.

most of the time problem with osx as server is "secure" setting (macosx requiring connection on ports < 1024, what xbmc can't, because is not running under root user).

to confirm this, log into xbian via ssh and on command prompt do "sudo -i", you will get root account. now do "mount 192.168.1.234:/Volumes/Shows /media/shows". if this works, is it the setup of osx. go into terminal on macox, and add -N parameter to the hfs server. lower part of the plist file should look like this, the "-N" is important:

Code:

cd /System/Library/LaunchDaemons
vi com.apple.nfsd.plist

Code:

<key>ProgramArguments</key>
        <array>
                <string>/sbin/nfsd</string>
                <string>-N</string>
        </array>

save the file and do

Code:

launchload -w unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.nfsd.plist
launchload -w load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.nfsd.plist
