Setting up NFS share on raspberry pi

Hey Guys,
i'm trying to set up my raspberry pi and a 3 TB usb drive as a home storage server now. I want to use nfs, as this seems the easiest and best way of doing it. I have set up nfs, and can connect to it manually, mounting it on console. However, i would like to automatically mount it when accessing the folder. Mounting it on boot is not an option, as i can only mount it when at home. I tried the way suggested in the wiki, using x-systemd.automount as a mount option. However, not only does this not work, it also causes nautilus to freeze for a while when i start it. This is what my fstab entry looks like:

192.168.0.10:/mnt/Platte   /home/lasse/Platte  nfs  users,noauto,x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.device-timeout=10,timeo=14,
noatime 0 0

As i said, running mount -t nfs 1922.168.0.10:/mnt/Platte /home/lasse/Platte works just fine...

Cheers,
Gasp0de

Re: Setting up NFS share on raspberry pi

Hi Gasp0de,
I had a similar issue a while ago and solved it by adding an ExecUpPost= line to my netctl profile.

Because I was using netctl-auto, I needed to add something like

ExecUpPost="mount /meda/nas || true"

to allow it to fail "nicely" without complaining when using a non-home wifi.

NetworkManager can do similar based on the connection UUID.

Hope that helps.

Re: Setting up NFS share on raspberry pi

It is unrelated, but i found that samba is a viable alternative in terms of performance on the pi.
