NFS Shares not announced anymore

NFS Shares not announced anymore

Tried posting this in another thread, but no response - it is lost in the crowd. Therefor starting new thread.

I cannot see NFS from XBMC anymore (goes for both Windows and RPi installations...)

Hope someone can shed some light on the subject!

Problem was not present in 6.1.9 and previous releases.

Problem is a little cloudy; it is not "advertising" shares over NFS. It is possible to get files via NFS from XBMC. I know that because I added the files to the XBMC library pre-6.2.0 and they are still accessible from XBMC. Problem is only when you in XBMC want to add new locations. Then the NAS does not show up as an NFS server. SMB and SAMBA seems to advertise themselves: This is evident when using the Zeroconf browser in XBMC.
So, in my conclusion, the problem might be on the NAS and the "advertisement" (pleeeeeease, tell me what the correct word is 🙂 ).

Funny thing is, that if I use the showmount cmd from an RPi with XBMC:
xbian@xbian ~ $ sudo showmount -e 192.168.0.2
[sudo] password for xbian:
Export list for 192.168.0.2:
/data/Videos *
/run/nfs4/data/Videos *
/data/Pictures *
/run/nfs4/data/Pictures *
/data/Music *
/run/nfs4/data/Music *
/run/nfs4/data *
/run/nfs4 *
/data/media 127.0.0.1
/run/nfs4/data/media 127.0.0.1
/data/Backup 127.0.0.1
/run/nfs4/data/Backup 127.0.0.1

As you can see, NFSv4 is enabled on the NAS.

Please also see my post on Kodi forum (formerly known as XBMC) http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid ... pid1867014

Problem is also present in XBMC on Windows.

Can someone shed some light on the subject?! Please

Thanks!

I also have the problem that i can't add nfs shares to my xbmc because the nfs shares of the netgear are not shown.
any help?

Re: NFS Shares not announced anymore

I have not found a solution to the problem on the NAS not announcing the NFS shares.
But I have workaround for adding NFS shares to XBMC afterall:
Find the sources.xml in C:\Users\[USERNAMEGOESHERE]\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata and add a source directly to it. Example:
<source>
<name>Ripped DVDs</name>
<path pathversion="1">nfs://NAS/data/Videos/Ripped DVDs/</path>
<allowsharing>true</allowsharing>
</source>

Re: NFS Shares not announced anymore

Thanks @ZkiiFreak for creating this thread.

I have the same problem. On 6.1.9 all was fine.

Few days ago I made a clean install of Kodi on a Raspberry Pi, NFS was discovered without any issues... But after that I updated my RN102 to 6.2.2 and now NFS can't be found.


(A helping hand for RPi users)
On Openelec.tv - Raspberry Pi

Kodi:
/storage/.kodi/userdata/sources.xml
XBMC:
/storage/.xbmc/userdata/sources.xml

<sources>
<video>
<default pathversion="1"></default>
<source>
<name>Movies</name> <!-- Share name -->
<path pathversion="1">nfs://<NAS_IP>/data/Movies/</path>
<allowsharing>true</allowsharing>
</source>
</video>
</sources>

Re: Sv: NFS Shares not announced anymore

It would be nice to get some kind of attention from netgear...

Or is this the wrong way of reporting a problem? 🙂

This is a community forum, though some netgear folks participate. Support.netgear.com is the way to get to netgear support.

I have notified product engineering about this issue

Can you send in your logs (see the Sending Logs link in my sig).

I still haven't heard from them.

But hopefully they got what they needed, but whom knows it might be a good idea to send your logs as well, just in case our systems behaves differently 🙂

I'll let 'em work for now. It might take a little time... 🙂

We're able to reproduce the issue in-house. It's currently not clear what the issue is, but hopefully we'll get there soon.

Good to hear that you're able to reproduce! Thanks for letting us know. Is there a chance it might be fixed within the current beta?

Thanks!

When it comes to beta builds for my other equipment I would instal it right away but when it comes to my NAS I'm a bit more careful (mostly because I'm not able to backup the entire storage @ 3tb. Only my most important stuff is backed up to multiple sources)
Or do you consider this beta as safe to install?

Re: NFS Shares not announced anymore

Up to you. If you don't urgently need a fix for this then you can wait for the production release if you like.
