Hi,

I have a DNS 320L running ALT-F 1.0.

My wish is to record live TV to my NAS from a RPI2 running Kodi via TVHeadend.

I have tried to mount the share from the Libreelec command line but with no joy, It appears to mount when I run a mount script but when I run the command "systemctl status storage-recordings.mount" I get this output:

● storage-recordings.mount - test nfs mount script
   Loaded: loaded (/storage/.config/system.d/storage-recordings.mount; enabled;
vendor preset: disabled)
   Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Thu 2017-11-16 09:13:14 GMT; 3 month
● storage-recordings.mount - test nfs mount script
   Loaded: loaded (/storage/.config/system.d/storage-recordings.mount; enabled;

    Where: /storage/recordings
     What: //192.168.1.92/mnt/md1/Users/AlexGilbert/Media/Videos
Process: 574 ExecMount=/usr/bin/mount //192.168.1.92/mnt/md1/Users/AlexGilbert
/Media/Videos /storage/recordings -t nfs -o rw,vers=1.0 (code=exited, status=255
)

Warning: Journal has been rotated since unit was started. Log output is incomple
te or unavailable.

I do not know what this means and neither does google! I can only presume that I need to configure an NFS share via the ALT-F Gui, I know where to do that, but not how.

Please help a very frustrated noob

vers=1.0? If that is the nfs version specified to the nfs mount command then is wrong, Alt-F supports version 2 and 3 (not 4)

Other then that, I'm afraid that I can't help.

If you start the NFS service it creates by default NFS shares comprising all filesystems.

Thanks Joao,

I wasn't convinced it was an issue with my nas, I'll keep trying!

As you are using the command line on the Libreelec, you can try mounting it directly from the nas

/usr/bin/mount -t nfs -o rw //192.168.1.92/mnt/md1/Users/AlexGilbert/Media/Videos /storage/recordings

Hello again, I tried that, here is the output:

mount: mounting //192.168.1.92/mnt/md1/Users/AlexGilbert/Media/Videos on /storage/recordings failed: Invalid argument

Also, the syntax that works for me includes a colon, so start with 192.168.1.92:/mnt/...
is what I would try.

Hi Rolf,

Thanks for your advice!

"/usr/bin/mount -t nfs -o rw 192.168.1.92:/mnt/md1/Users/AlexGilbert/Media/Videos /storage/recordings" works for me.

Thank you very much.
