That log is only APT log.

You would need to provide grab-logs -A (that a capital A).

While also the output of the testing as it is described in the thread would be more helpful

Mounting network shares with autofs (alternative to fstab)

This how-to describes how to mount your network shares via autofs. Autofs should be as performant as fstab based mounting but has the advantage that your shares are mounted on demand which also should give you more reliability in case of network interuptions. First install the autofs package sudo apt-get install autofs If you already have mounted your shares already via fstab comment out that line in fstab and reboot. For this how-to we are going to use a directory for each server, if you wa…

Hi,

Standard NFS doesn’t use a username and password. I suspect it may be related to which IPs are allowed to access the share, more details can be found here:

Thanks Tom.

[mercer2]

so in the qnap setting for nfs, i just put the ip of the vero 4k on step #7?

[Tom_Doyle]

Hi,

Yes but only if the vero4k is the only client device that need to access the share, it may be better (assuming the vero4k is in the same network as the nas) to set the ip to:

192.168.3.* or 192.168.3.0/24

They both do the same, it will let any device your network access the share.

Thanks Tom.

NFS protocol does not support username/password authentication… this was always implemented via kerberos

and to mount again and again it’s not the best choice
just mount the NFS share via /etc/fstab it will look like this more or less:

<IP_NFS_SVR>:/yoursharefolder /home/osmc/Movies nfs ro,udp
example:
192.168.88.250:Video /home/osmc/Movies nfs ro,udp

where 192.168.88.250 is ur NFS server that have the share folders (u can set this by editing exports file), /home/osmc/Movies is ur destination of mount. and nfs is the protocol while ro,udp is for read only and using UDP as its transport protocol.

if using QNAP use CIFS v2

is working now!!

thank you!!!

autofs doesn’t keep trying to mount, unless the mount goes away, or is no longer in use. That’s why autofs is more robust than fstab mounts.

good to know

BTW, this is not using autofs, this is using the Kodi build in nfs access.
Not sure if you updated your sources afterwards

[mercer2]

Hi, you guys are correct is not using autofs, Im having issues with 4k files of over 40gb. they ocasionally stutter.

@mercer2

you guys are correct is not using autofs,

You have to remove your existing sources and replace them with local Filesystem ones pointing to /mnt/qnapcautilli/Videos
