nfs and streaming?

[Leoooo]

Hi, I have a nfs question.
How is nfs with mounts?

I'm trying to stream content from my ubuntu box to my mediaplayer (popcorn hour).


My structure is like this:

/media <- sda
/media/pictures <-sdb
/media/tournaments <-sdc

When I add the media share through nfs, everything seems to work, and I can enter the subdirs.

But when I enter dirs that are mounted, e.g. pictures, I get 'no content found'.

Is this a nfs issue or media player related?

Hi,

In your NFS server, I guess your /etc/exports file might look like this:


/media xxx.xxx.xx.xx(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)

make sure that you add the following two lines


/media/pictures xxx.xxx.xx.xx(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)


/media/tournaments xxx.xxx.xx.xx(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)

In your NFS client add the following lines to the /etc/fstab file


xxx.xxx.xx.xx:/media /media nfs rw,hard,intr 0 0


xxx.xxx.xx.xx:/media/pictures /media/pictures nfs rw,hard,intr 0 0


xxx.xxx.xx.xx:/media/tournaments /media/tournaments nfs rw,hard,intr 0 0

Make relevant changes to the above lines to suit your environment.

Hope this helps.

It's a mediaplayer.

So there is no fstab.

But I tried to add the shares, and still the same as before.

No nfs experts here??

I can't be the only one who wants to share a folder, where there are several hdd's mounted ???

Hi,

Did you execute the following command

sudo /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart

after making changes to your /etc/exports file ?

[Leoooo]

Yes. And rebooted.

The 'pictures' and 'tournaments' shares work seperatly, but just not from /media :/

Hi,

In /etc/exports file do the following

1) Include the 'fsid=0' option in the following line

/media xxx.xxx.xx.xx(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)
i.e

/media xxx.xxx.xx.xx(rw,sync,no_subtree_check,fsid=0)


2) Include the 'nohide' option in the following two lines


/media/pictures xxx.xxx.xx.xx(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)

/media/tournaments xxx.xxx.xx.xx(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)
i.e

/media/pictures xxx.xxx.xx.xx(rw,sync,no_subtree_check,nohide)

/media/tournaments xxx.xxx.xx.xx(rw,sync,no_subtree_check,nohide)

After making the changes restart the nfs-kernel-server

sudo /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart
