Help- NFS on pogoplug E02

[rflores2323]

I am trying to get NFS working on my pogoplug E02 wtih ALARM to share my /media folder and all the external usb drives attached to it. Here are some things that I have done, please advise what Im missing since when I try to connect nfs it doesnt connect.

I would like to add my /media folder as a nfs share to be accessible on my network.

I installed nfs 1.2.6-4 using packer
I bind with mount --bind /media /media
I set permissions
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[root@alarm ~]# chmod 777 /media')

I reexported by
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
[root@alarm ~]# exportfs -ra
[root@alarm ~]# exportfs -arv
exporting 192.168.1.2/30:/media')


I ran the service and enabled it also
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
[root@alarm ~]# systemctl start rpc-idmapd.service
[root@alarm ~]# systemctl start rpc-mountd.service')


Below are my mounted usb drives
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '

mount --bind /media /media ? you haven't done anything with this command as you've mounted /media in /media. I am not even sure what the outcome is. In the wiki they did it this way because they bind to an exported NFS directory so that you don't have to copy (in the example there) music to the exported dir.

Any reason you don't want to use samba? Is it to be shared with devices running Linux?

[rflores2323]

I want to try nfs as its works better with xbmc and an atv2. So how do i het an nfs share on /media so that all my drives under /media can be seen in my network? Do i have to bind each drive folder to /media? also how do i make /media the nfs root?

[moonman]

Don't mount --bind anything.

Just edit /etc/exports and add something like this:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '/media 192.168.1.1/24(rw,sync)')

[rflores2323]

can you share nfts drives thru nfs?

[moonman]

use no_root_squash option to export ntfs
such as:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '/media/NTFS_DRIVE 192.168.1.1/24(rw,sync,no_root_squash)')

NTFS_DRIVE = where your ntfs drive is mounted, so replace it with your mount point

[moonman]

Another thing I noticed:

exportfs -arv
exporting 192.168.1.2/30:/media

use /24 mask as with /30 you are very limited (4 ips I think) so maybe your client machine does not fall in the range of allowed IPs to connect.

[rflores2323]

wow I got samba up and running in less than 10 mins thru webmin.

NFS seems to have permission errors. I exported the directories thru webmin but still cannot connect as it shows a permission error.

ARGGG,, I will see how samba works. Thanks for the help

[moonman]

Yeah samba is may be easier to setup. You may get better performance with NFS though if you set it up properly AND clients are Unix*. Webmin probably tries to secure the share so set it up manually.
