I have been trying to get an NFS mount with FSTAB working (following the wiki) and I’m not having any luck.
The share I am trying to mount is on my linux server (192.168.1.200) and is called /media/USB_MoviesA/Movies.
I am trying to mount it to /mnt/Server_MoviesA.
This is the line in my FSTAB:
192.168.1.200:/media/USB_MoviesA/Movies /mnt/Server_MoviesA nfs noauto,x-systemd.automount 0 0
I sudo mount -a and try to browse the directory but it is empty. There are no error messages when I make the mount -a command.
No idea what I am doing wrong!
Did you reload systemd…
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl restart remote-fs.target
or reboot before trying to access the mount?
The fstab line looks ok. You didn’t mention whether your Vero has permission to access the NFS share. Run
showmount -e 192.168.1.200
to see which IP addresses can access its shares.
Rather than running sudo mount -a, I’d recommend that you try sudo mount /mnt/Server_MoviesA. For further debugging info, run sudo mount -v /mnt/Server_MoviesA
It looks like you’ve already created it, but the mount point should exist.
@darwindesign had the answer.
I can’t believe you actually expect people to read and follow the clear, concise instructions you’ve provided

In the time of “apps” - it is much to expect. Yes!
