NFS Problems,....
Have read and re-read posts,.. and followed the wiki setup pages,
unfortunately adding insecure does not fix my issues.

I am running a Thecus RAID 5200 and I am successfully exported
file systems to both media players and a conventional Raspberry PI.

Like user dantounet I can see the top level directories just not their contents.
if I do a showmount on my RAID it shows the Raspi as being mounted,.
as well as my media server,.. so things are almost working.


My /etc/exports file on my server looks as follows

"/raid0/data/Sound" 192.168.3.66(insecure,rw,no_root_squash,async,anonuid=99,anongid=99)
"/raid0/data/Video" 192.168.3.66(insecure,rw,no_root_squash,async,anonuid=99,anongid=99)

as well as different UID and GID

/data/Sound" 192.168.3.66(insecure,rw,no_root_squash,async,anonuid=0,anongid=0)
/data/Video" 192.168.3.66(insecure,rw,no_root_squash,async,anonuid=0,anongid=0)

Although I did have to edit it to get the insecure and async, or sync opitons in and changed
as exports file reverts back to a gui version once rebooted,..


I have tried using both nfs://192.168.3.15:/raid0/data/Video
and nfs://192.168.3.15/raid0/data/Video
and nfs://192.168.3.15

( which one is correct, I suspect middle one )

but none of these options seem to work,... unless I missed something
during all the fun.

I have checked my UID etc for XBMC and they are both set to 1000,...
I have tried these setting in the exports file....
unfortunately I cannot set these users and group on my RAID as they
are system reserved....

Can I just change "pi" gid and UID in the passwd file and reboot??
Or am I barking up the wrong tree... or just crossing too many wires.

Any help gratefully received

try squash_all instead of no_root_squash and ensure that the directories on the server are owned by user with id 99

Have finally figured out a solution to the problem of using Xbmc with my Thecus N5200

create a user Pi,.... and use the META module to modify the exports file to include "insecure".

Using the two seemed to fix things.

many thanks
