I'm getting the following error in the logs when trying to setup LAN NFS sharing from my Synology (running DSM 3.1) to a ATV2 on the 9/3 nightly.

Code:

ERROR: GetDirectory - Error getting nfs://192.168.1.23/Movies/

sharing

SMB sharing works, but hiccups with a few mkvs so I wanted to test out NFS. I looked at the wiki here and I have:
- shares for /Movies and /TV on the Synology
- a user 501 on the Synology with access to those two shares
- enabled ssh

I tried to run cat /etc/exports in ssh but nothing is returned by the command

In the ATV2, if I try to create a source, I can see my NAS on 192.168.1.23 but when I click through nothing happens:

Code:

11:20:22 T:67420160   ERROR: GetDirectory - Error getting nfs://192.168.1.23
11:20:22 T:67420160   ERROR: CGUIDialogFileBrowser::GetDirectory(nfs://192.168.1.23) failed

I'm sure I missed something, and appreciate any assistance

*edit*
I found NFS Privileges under Shares, which I set for:
- Client * (tried 192.168.1.* as well)
- Privilege: Read Only
- Root Squash: No Mapping
- Asynchronous: Yes (tried no as well)

I can now see my two mounts...volume1/Movies and volume1/TV when I browse under NFS, but can't click past that
In the logs it's showing permission denied

that is your problem ... hopefully someone who git it working could jump in here. In the future the wiki might have the needed instructions for common nas boxes.

Memphiz posted the link with the proper fix. You need to have the "insecure" option enabled in /etc/exports.

BTW you don't need any special "501" user or anything like that set up in the Synology.

Memphiz, Canadave

Thanks, I was able to finally get it (the settings are slightly different and I was trying too hard)

So for others looking at this thread, here's a how-to
1. Login to your Synology GUI
2. Enable SSH (if not enabled already) Control Panel-->Terminal-->Enable SSH service
3. Enable NFS under Control Panel-->Win/MAC/NFS-->NFS Services-->Enable NFS
4. Under Control Panel-->Shared Folder, create a NFS Privileges entry for the folders you want to share
Hostname: either specific ip address of XBMC or *
Privlege: Read Only
Root Squash: No Mapping
5. Exit GUI, go to a terminal and SSH into your Synology

Code:

ssh root@<<SYNOLOGY IP ADDRESS>>

6. Type in cat /etc/exports to see if you get entries, mine were:

Code:

DiskStation> cat /etc/exports
/volume1/Movies *(ro,async,no_wdelay,no_root_squash,insecure_locks,anonuid=0,anongid=0)
/volume1/TV    *(ro,async,no_wdelay,no_root_squash,insecure_locks,anonuid=0,anongid=0)

7. Edit using vi:
Type vi /etc/exports
[If you don't know vi, press INS[SERT], use arrows to go to the line to edit, and delete/edit the line. Then press ESC, and :x to 'save&exit']
8. change the entries to:

Code:

/volume1/Movies    *(ro,async,no_wdelay,no_root_squash,insecure,anonuid=0,anongid=0)
/volume1/TV    *(ro,async,no_wdelay,no_root_squash,insecure,anonuid=0,anongid=0)

9. Do cat /etc/exports to see if it took
10. Enter "exportfs -ra" into console
11. You can now Browse NFS and get to your subfolders in XBMC

thx for your nice howto ... this will end up in the wiki then great!

[canadave]

thx for your nice howto ... this will end up in the wiki then

You betcha Will try to get to this today.

*** EDIT: Done! Thanks. ***

[Memphiz]

nice - thx canadave

Guys, thanks for this, I have followed the instructions as mentioned to remove the locks using terminal. Will try browse nfs later on

This is an old thread, but I googled around and was lead here. This thread reflects excactly what I'm trying to do right now.

I'm following the steps from Memphiz' link to the xbmc wiki. But when I do step 6 - "cat /etc/exports"

the response is "cat: can't open '/etc/exports': Permission denied"

I've more than double checked all the previous steps to make sure everything is done properly, but I haven't found any mistakes there. Also, I'm not that familiar with linux so if there's something basic that I've missed - please do tell

I guess you ssh'd in as admin? Try root instead and you should be fine.

That was it. Thx.

What kind of read speeds are you getting? My NFS speeds are horrible with the Synology NAS, about a quarter of my FTP or WebDav.
