NFS server - How to use

Hi there,

is there a tutorial or howTo which describes how to start and use the nsf server ?

I have vdr-ng-em 0.7 the pro version compiled with CONFIG_NFS-UTILS = y
I have nfsd="YES" in /etc/rc.local.conf
I added in /etc/exports: /var/vdr/video0 *(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)
Also I ran: exportfs -a


On Ubuntu 12.4 when I try to mount I get message:

sudo mount 192.168.2.201:/var/vdr/video0 /media/vdr
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on 192.168.2.201:/var/vdr/video0,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
(for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might
need a /sbin/mount.<type> helper program)

Did I miss something?
How to proceed?
I am not a great expert on Linux so every hint is greatly appreciated.
Thanks to everyone.

If you compile pro version do not need edit .config file or run exportfs -a, only set nfsd="YES" in /etc/rc.local.conf, edit /etc/exports and restart.

Run:
sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.2.201:/var/vdr/video0 /media/vdr

For show shares in server run "showmount -e 192.168.2.201".

OK. Thank you. Here are the current results:

$showmount -e 192.168.2.201
Export list for 192.168.2.201:
/var/media/disk-volume-0/vdr/video *

$ sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.2.201:/var/media/disk-volume-0/vdr/video /media/vdr
mount.nfs: Connection timed out
mount.nfs: Connection timed out
$ sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.2.201:/var/vdr/video0 /media/vdr
mount.nfs: Connection timed out

What else can I do to fix this?

Try:
sudo mount -t nfs -o nfsvers=3 192.168.2.201:/var/media/disk-volume-0/vdr/video /media/vdr

Wow. Thats it. Now it works from Ubuntu.
Great. Thank you Bittor for your help.

Anyone managed to connect with an Android Device?
I tried with App CifsManager but no success yet.

I think you can run the same mount command in Android.

This is right but unfortunately it doesn't work.
At least with my device, a Motorola Defy+ with MIUI-2.420.
I need to investigate further what else I can do to get this run, but I think this is more a topic for an Android forum.
If this works I would be able to watch my recordings on my mobile which would be quiet usefull for me sometimes.

Nevertheless, anyone here ever tried?

You could try streaming with webif.

if anyone is interested in:

Did not get managed to connect my Android device via NFS with the m740.

But started the MedaiTombserver on the box and can now perfectly watch my recordings with App "Mediahouse, UPnP /DLNA-Browser" and "MX player".

Guess even better than NFS would be.
Thanks. Great work.
