| Post subject: | Multiple NFS mounts to /myth/video ??? |
I have a lot of video files on a NasLite Server that I want to be able to add to the Media Library. The files are on different drives/directories on the server. At first I tried mounting each NFS share in a seperate subdirectory beneath /myth/video None of the files were accessible, and the Media Library Browser doesn't seem to want to allow me to open the subdirectories. They don't appear in the browser. When I try mounting the NFS shared files directly to /myth/video, only the files in the last NFS share specified show up. Currently I've added the following lines to /etc/fstab 192.168.0.8:/export/Disk-1/DVR /myth/video nfs (blah, blah, blah) 192.168.0.8:/export/Disk-1/DVRTEMP /myth/video nfs (blah, blah, blah) 192.168.0.8:/export/Disk-3/MPGS /myth/video nfs (blah, blah, blah) Only the files in the last line are showing up in /myth/video What can I do to so that I can browse multiple NFS shares in /myth/video? BTW, I have exactly the same problem trying to mount files from multiple NFS shares in /myth/music. I'm afraid my LINUX knowledge is not up to solving this problem, I'e been working on it for 10 days, and can't seem to find anything in all of my searches of the forums, How-to's, etc, that address this issue.

Look into a unionfs for mounting multiple filesystems over a single place. |

Does the mythtv user have access permissions to those directories/files?None of the files were accessible, and the Media Library Browser doesn't seem to want to allow me to open the subdirectories.

Each mount overlays the contents of the directory, so if you were to mount say 3 filesystems into /myth/video, only the last filesystem would be available.davej45 wrote: Currently I've added the following lines to /etc/fstab Correct, see above. The (blah, blah, blah) portion may have something to do with the permissions issue...192.168.0.8:/export/Disk-1/DVR /myth/video nfs (blah, blah, blah) 192.168.0.8:/export/Disk-1/DVRTEMP /myth/video nfs (blah, blah, blah) 192.168.0.8:/export/Disk-3/MPGS /myth/video nfs (blah, blah, blah) Only the files in the last line are showing up in /myth/video davej45 wrote: What can I do to so that I can browse multiple NFS shares in /myth/video? Mount them into different sub-directories that the mythtv user has access permissions to (have a look at tjc's posts in http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic. ... highlight=), or check into unionFS as Dale suggested.

| Post subject: | unionFS on R5E50? |
OK, I tried setting up unionfs on my R5E50 backend, but I keep getting error messages when I try to mount the filesystem. Using the following command: mount -t unionfs -o rw,dirs=/myth/video/DVR=rw null /myth/video/files gives me the following error message: mount: unknown filesystem type 'unionfs' other variants of the same command all give the same error message. /etc/modules shows unionfs is loaded at boot... the directory /myth/video/files has been created Is there something I am missing, or is there something else I need to do to be able to use unionFS with R5E50? Internet searches on unionFS and Debian don't shed much light, just a few references to commands pretty much similar to the one I am using. |
