Hi guys 1st post here - I am running the Unraid Basic 4.5.1 and learning how to use my new server, I Can see the server using any computer on my Network (smb) and also my WDTV Live sees and plays the shares (SMB)

 

Upstairs i have another Media streamer called a Egreat M34A and it cannot see the shares from the server, I did notice under NFS on the menu of the M34a it lists the IP of the server but when i click on it i cannot access any files.

 

I am assuming I need to share create a shared folder for NFS?  Then enable that address in the Export settings - Disk shares (NFS): field?

 

Thanks in Advance

Ok i read the Wiki now the M34A see's the files, For any Newb like me needing this info this is right out of the Wiki.........

 

How do I configure NFS mounts?

 

Starting with unRAID 4.5beta1 and/or 4.4.1, unRAID includes the ability to serve files using the NFS protocol.

 

This release includes NFS export ability for disk and user shares. To use this feature, go to the Shares page. For the disk shares, you will see a new field called "Disk shares (NFS)". For the user shares you will see the field "Export (NFS)". In these fields you should enter the NFS client specification string. If the export string is left blank, then the share will not be exported via NFS.

 

For example, to export the share to any system, read/write, enter:

 

*(rw)

 

To export the share to 192.168.1.10 read-only, and 192.168.1.12 read/write, enter:

 

192.168.1.10(rw),192.168.1.12(rw)

 

Notice no white space in there. Refer to the linux documentation for 'exports', e.g., http://linux.die.net/man/5/exports

 

These 'default' options are set:

 

async,no_subtree_check,anongid=0,anonuid=0,all_squash

 

Note for Mac users: OS X users will need to use the following export options, otherwise the shares will not mount: [4] (You may need to restart your server.)

 

*(rw,insecure)

 

In addition a 'fsid' value is set for each user share.

 

If there are no shares specified to be exported via NFS, then all the various NFS daemons will not be started.

 

NFS shares have the path '/mnt/user/usersharename', for example the command to mount 'smb://unraid/photos' might look like:

 

mount unraid:/mnt/user/photos ~/mntpoint

 

Please consider NFS support to be experimental. For example, there has been no performance tuning done whatsoever (as of 4.5beta1/4.4.2). However, see this thread for improved settings and better performance.
