WD ex4 NAS cannot be accessed by Dune HD base 3D via NFS please help

Hi all.

Im experiencing some difficulties configuring the DUne to access the NAS through NFS.

Im doing everything as it has to be done, yet no success.

Let me show you the configuration on Dune:

I made New Network Folder:

1.Name: MOVIES

2.Type: NFS

3.Server: 192.168.1.100 ( the ip of my NAS)

4.Folder: Filmi ( Actually Filmi foldier is inside a folder named Public, tried putting them both, still nothing)

5.Protocol: TCP ( tried UDP aswell, nothing)

I tried many different combinations as Path, but still cant configure it.

Also tried 192.168.x.x/24 rather then doing wildcard *

On the NAS:

  1. Turned NFS access ON

2. Host - entered * so all IPs have access to it

3.Root Squash - OFF

4.Write - OFF ( so it is only readable as it has to be in case of accidental delete of data)

At the moment i cannot think of any other information to give, if i do i’ll post it as additional info.

Thanks.

I think you’ll need the full mountpoint.

Something like:

/mnt/HD/HD_a2/Public

What do you mean by HD/HD_a2 ?

That’s part of the full mountpoint name.

On my ubuntu system, I issued the command

showmount -e 10.0.0.35

(…which is the IP address of my EX4) to determine the full mountpoint name.

When i enter /mnt/HD/HD_a2/Public in prompt it says - The system cannot find the path specified.

If im getting it wrong, please explain if possible, im not well in that field.

I can’t tell you what it’d be on your system.   You’ll need to look in the exports via SSH…

cat /etc/exports

Okay, but how to do the whole thing, when i enable SSH where to find this export file.

Start by reading the manual.  It tells you about SSH.

…and I just told you where the exports file was – /etc/exports.

Keep in mind that im using Windows on my pc, not Linux.

I guess i should download PuTTY SSH, so i can do everything you suggested ?

If i’d known things would be so complicated i’d have taken measures earlier.

I’ll pay someone to do it for me. At least i tried.

Anyway thank you for the adequate and fast response. Most of the forums are idiotic, here i got the fastest response.

Thank you.
