Hi there,
I’ve been attempting to mount my WD MyCloud as an NFS share on my raspberry pi. I’m running raspbmc and attempting to mount it using /etc/fstab. I had this working months ago, but I hadn’t touched it for a while.
Now I’m trying to set it up again and keep receiving the message stating:
‘mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting 192.168.0.102:/Public’
I’ve been searching for hours and still no luck. Anyone run into this before? The mycloud still supports NFS, correct? I didn’t find anything in the firmware release notes stating it didn’t.
Thanks!
Justin
Nevermind, just figured it out.
In case anyone else has this problem, what I did was ssh into MyCloud. I went to /etc/exports and added the following line:
‘/nfs/Public’
Then went back to /etc/fstab on the pi and changed the share to ‘192.168.0.XXX:/nfs/Public’.
For some reason now you can’t just do ‘192.168.0.XXX:/Public’.
Here, try this. http://community.wd.com/t5/WD-My-Cloud/How-to-get-RaspberryPi-communicating-to-WD-MyCloud-over-NFS/m-p/731836/highlight/true
It has been posted before but, until I found this link – today, I had been searching for several months.
There are two commands that you need to know on the client (the Linux system accessing the WD MyCloud - in my case a Raspberry Pi running squeezeplug)
1/. from the command line
mount -t nfs 192.168.1.20:/nfs/Public /mnt/nfs
2/. in /etc/fstab
192.168.1.20:/nfs/Public /mnt/nfs nfs defaults 0 0
On my WD MyCloud I currently have the line
/nfs/Public
in the file
/etc/exports
I do not know if this is neccessary as I have simply left it in there.
Mine is currently working fine.
Hope this helps
I just did a firmware update and did not edit the /etc/exports file and my nfs share from squeezeplug is working so no changes are neccessary.
