Raspberry Newbie needs help

Re: Raspberry Newbie needs help

Simon:

Getting closer. I found the following page regarding Linus syntax for NFS server mounts: https://access.redhat.com/documentat...nfs-mount.html

Based on this, I tried changing the line as follows: "192.168.1.152:/WD-NAS-FINK/Music/WAV /home/pi/nas nfs ro 0 0"

When I then tried to mount the server, I received the following message:



I wonder if I need to add a user ID and password? If so, can you advise how to add this? Alternatively, should I try using the IP address twice, in lieu of the IP address followed by the device name?

Thanks

Re: Raspberry Newbie needs help

I tried adding "username=admin,password=********* " after "nfs" and before "ro" in the line. Unfortunately, after a reboot, I am unable to access the Raspberry. Do I need to start over?

Re: Raspberry Newbie needs help

I would stick with mounting the Music folder, the sub-folder can be identified in the Watched folder within Asset.

Re: Raspberry Newbie needs help

I think the server in the WD device is confusing things by allowing you to define the nfs mount point.

So just keep that bit simply and let the Raspberry mount the NAS share and navigate to the required sub-folder.

Re: Raspberry Newbie needs help

In other words just the name of the share, i.e. "\IP address\nfs\Music". I will try when I straighten out my microSD card.....I have to reformat it and start again. I'll let you know how things go when I get back to where I was....DARN!!

Thanks for the help.

Simon:

I am back up and running. Asset UPnP is installed and comes on with each reboot. I then added the following line in the fstab file: "192.168.1.152:/192/168/1/152/nfs/Music /home/pi/nas nfs ro 0 0". Unfortunately, the server still won't mount. Here is the message that I receive:



This message seems to suggest we are even closer, but I wonder what I need to do to resolve the apparently missing information.

Thanks

Re: Raspberry Newbie needs help

This is the entry in my fstab file

192.168.0.3:/media /home/pi/nas nfs ro 0 0

You need to work on the mount points as allowed by the WD device

Re: Raspberry Newbie needs help

Not sure I understand what to try next? What do I do to deal with rpc.stand?

Re: Raspberry Newbie needs help

To be honest don't know - I don't have statd running - some information is at https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledg...mds5/statd.htm

But I believe it is due to the entry in the fstab file.

Is there a section in the manual for the WD device, describing how to use the NFS settings?

Re: Raspberry Newbie needs help

I will check. I may have to resort to a call to them, although I find they have been less than helpful at times. I'll share what I find out.

Thanks for ALL of your help...you've clearly gotten me close to the end result!!

Re: Raspberry Newbie needs help

Here's the only information I could find in their manual. I will try their technical support.

Simon:

I just found this link: https://backdrift.org/fixing-rpc-sta...remote-locking which seems to address the problem. Might you look this offer and see if the syntax and use looks appropriate for the Raspberry?

Thanks

Re: Raspberry Newbie needs help

My nfs mount to the ReadyNAS units I have don't seem to need locking mechanism, but maybe your WD unit does - try what is listed, and see if you can mount the share.

Re: Raspberry Newbie needs help

I tried and received the following:

After starting the rpcbind, I tried to mount /home/pi/nas and got the following result:



I then edited the /etc/fstab file again by inserting my username and password as shown here: "192.168.1.152:/192.168.1.152/nfs/Music /home/pi/nas nfs username=Aaron,password=******** ro 0 0"

This resulted in the following message:



I just don't know enough about Linux and mounting drives (let alone using NFS) to figure anything else out. I am trying to reach out to Western Digital but I suspect they will say they can't help since the issue is within the /etc/fstab file on the Raspberry and thus not in their purview. I'll let you know.

Thanks

Re: Raspberry Newbie needs help

Again I think your entry in fstab is wrong - it should be similar to 192.168.0.3:/media /home/pi/nas nfs ro 0 0

For WD instructions - see https://support.wdc.com/knowledgebas....aspx?ID=17224 - I think the useful parts are sections 5 & 6

Either limit the nfs to just the RaspberryPi's IP address or use a wildcard.
