@Guy
I think everyone is a bit offtrack here. If I understand correctly, you want to have a MySQL database and your files on the Vero shared to your other system.
If I’m correct, then you don’t need to do anything other than add the shares to your fstab on the ‘slave’ system. Something like:
Just make sure that where you are mounting on the ‘slave’ is the same place you have it mounted in the master. The database stores the paths, so they have to match on all systems.
@bmillham You have my need pegged correctly. The problem is that the share does not appear to be visible to the slave system. In fact, I can’t even see it on the master system (showmount -e is failing).
EDIT: Tried it anyway. Still getting “mount.nfs: Connection timed out”.
Just for clarification it also pings fine.
osmc@Pi3:/mnt/hdd/Media$ ping -c5 192.168.1.60
PING 192.168.1.60 (192.168.1.60): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 192.168.1.60: seq=0 ttl=64 time=9.719 ms
I’m confused. I thought you were trying to share the drive from the Pi to the Vero 4K. You shouldn’t have nfs kernel server on the Vero 4K, it should be on the PI 3
Add the following line: deb http://apt.osmc.tv jessie-devel main
Run the following commands to update: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && reboot
Your system should have have received the update.
Please see if the issue is resolved.
I also recommend you edit /etc/apt/sources.list again and remove the line that you added after updating. This will return you to the normal update channel.
@sam_nazarko Looks like you have found and fixed the issue! (kind of surprised I’m the first to report it).
Out of curiosity, when access a global file share is it best practice to “mount” an nfs source and then use the mounted directory or just add the NFS path to your library?
The number of people that use an NFS server is quite low, particularly as it’s not part of the App Store.
fstab is the best solution as it has readahead (kernel). It’s also useful if you want to use the mount outside of Kodi, e.g. for downloading, sharing other files.
@bmillham Yeah, I realized it as I was performing the fstab (per your recommendation). At first it seemed like a redundant step, but then I realized it is more like a symbolic link (…osmc is making this windows guy learn a lot about linux) which allows for significant future proofing.
@sam_nazarko Is there a reason its not part of the App Store? All the best practice stuff I read indicated that it had the best performance when dealing with network files (which is why I took the plunge).
