Kodi Community Forum - NFS setup in Eden builds

Whats the best way to setup NFS shares on the latest EDEN dev build?
Im using a Synology NAS with NFS enabled.

Pointers please Sad

I've been away for a while, but iirc there is no native support for nfs within xbmc. Mount your nfs paths outside of xbmc and then set your sources to point to the local mount points.

Im using OpenELEC that has this built into the EDEN builds...
Sorry should have said.

But I thought this was a parameter of XBMC Eden.

Could be wrong.

I'm not using the eden builds from openelec, so don't know what fronted they have put together for it.

However, you can manually add nfs mount points in openelec - add them to the netmount.conf config file. It has examples in in for different kinds of mount points - here's mine for reference:

Code:
root ~ # cat .config/netmount.conf

# Mounting Network shares on boot

# This configuration file allows to setup Network mounts via CIFS (Samba) or NFS

# (not yet included)

# This is an sample file, please rename or copy this file to netmount.conf

# (location /storage/.config/ or inside the samba share "Configfiles"

#

# Usage:

# service | share on server | local mountpoint | mount options

#

# - please use an "|" as delimiter

# - dont use spaces in usernames, passwords and options.

# - local mountpoints can be only on /storage and /media (not recommended!).

# - you can use any dir inside the XBMC home /storage/.xbmc/... for local

#   mountpoints if you need this for some reasons.

#

# Examples:

# cifs | //192.168.1.44/videos | /storage/mount/videos | username=user,password=secret

# cifs | //192.168.1.44/tv shows | /storage/mount/tvshows | username=user,password=secret

#cifs | //bigbox/xbmc/Thumbnails | /storage/.xbmc/userdata/Thumbnails

nfs | bigbox:/pool4/xbmc/Thumbnails | /storage/.xbmc/userdata/Thumbnails

nfs | bigbox:/pool4/xbmc/playlists | /storage/.xbmc/userdata/playlists

nfs | bigbox:/pool4/xbmc/configfiles | /storage/configfiles

Yup thats the exact problem.
netmount.conf has been removed now Smile

I can imagine nfs would be removed - i can imagine plenty of people use if for sab and the like.

A quick google finds this:

Seems netmount is no longer used and everything goes in autostart.sh - further google shows plenty of other results too.
