Setup:
Linux Box with Software Raid (mdam Raid 5 volume) with all media
This is also the central mysql server.
This is also my office PC which I ocassionally watch stuff on.
I have a Pi connected to the TV and various laptops which all pull from the mysql server and that all works great.

Problem:
I have XBMC installed on the NAS/Office PC and it is pulling all the metadata with no issue as its connecting locally.
However no video will actually play as its trying to mount what it thinks is a remote nfs share but is actually local media.

Logs:

ERROR: NFS: Failed to mount nfs share: /storage (mount/mnt call failed with "RPC error: Mount failed with error MNT3ERR_ACCES(13) Permission denied(13)")

I have a feeling this may not be possible. Anyone ever tried to do this ? Any possible work arounds ?

This should be possible. You need to ensure that the nfs server accepts connection from its own ip (so you basically can access nfs from the very same mashine). MNT3ERR_ACCES means that in your /etc/exports file the local ip is not allowed to connect.

Thanks for the reply. That makes sense. I'll give it a go tonight.
