[ Solved ] Automount NFS shares

[spacedogMember]

On the RaspberryPi we have found that mounting NFS shares automatically into the filesystem and using UDP has significantly improved streaming performance. I personally saw a big boost in stream performance.

I’d like to employ this same method on Geexbox for my new cubox-i4.

Does anyone have any guidance on how to achieve this? Do I need to enable any NFS services in Geexbox. Also, what file would I be editing to add the NFS mount? Would it be /etc/fstab or should I be using /etc/mtab

Or something else?

you can use package automounter-nfs
(not yet included for arm) I can enable it in the day for next snapshot
you can test it using right now this one : http://download.openbricks.org/cuboxi/automounter-nfs_2.0-1_armv7.opk
then edit /etc/nfs file

I must be missing some subtle aspect of setting this up.

I installed that package and edited /etc/nfs with this:

192.168.1.x:/m/ArchivedVideo/ /media/nfs-foo nfs _netdev,nfsvers=3,proto=udp,defaults,user,auto,noatime,intr 0 0

I also did
mkdir /media/nfs-foo

After a reboot I noticed that /media/nfs-foo has disappeared and nothing seems to have mounted.

I’ve probably just given away the fact that my linux skills are pretty n00bish…

OK. I think I understand it now. Automounter is creating the mount points in /mnt/nfs automatically and I have it working.

However, it seems that I can’t pass any options via /etc/nfs? Or do I need to parse it differently because it doesn’t seem to follow how mount.nfs works?

How can I set options for Automounter (like rsize, proto=udp, etc…)?

[tomlohaveModerator]

all mount options are loacated in /usr/bin/automounter_nfs
(ro,udp,rsize=32768,soft,noatime,nolock)
edit this file if you want to modify mount options
