Drew, I’ve made the changes you suggested but things seem to be the same: I can manually sudo mount to /var/snd and I do see files in it. However, as before, after having modified the /etc/fstab file I do not see these mounts unless I manually mount them. I’ve opened up permissions (chmod 777) for /var and /var/snd with no effect on the problem.
Is there a log file I can look at to look for errors during boot? What information can I send you to help diagnose this. I can’t imagine this is a unique problem.

On the rivendell server (which in your case would be the NFS server / NAS) [rd@rdserv2 ~]$ cat /etc/exports /var/nfs 192.168.86.86(rw,sync,no_subtree_check) /var/snd 192.168.86.1/24(rw,no_root_squash,async) /var/vid 192.168.86.1/24(rw,no_root_squash,async) make your /etc/exports match the /var/snd line with appropriate changes to match your subnet. sudo exportfs -a On the Pi: sudo mkdir /var/snd sudo mount.nfs 192.168.86.150:/var/snd /var/snd 192.168.86.150 is the IP for the Riv server / NFS server / NAS. I was not careful as to user and group ownership for /var/snd so that may still need to be sorted to get everything working right. However: pi@remobpi:~ $ ls /var/snd/000001* /var/snd/000001_001.wav pi@remobpi:~ $ ls -lah /var/snd/000001* -rw-rw-r-- 1 150 150 5.6M Jul 20 2017 /var/snd/000001_001.wav Yup, looks like something needs to be done with user/group permissions. all the best, drew On Sun, Mar 8, 2020 at 4:16 PM Phil Biehl <fylbe...@gmail.com> wrote: Thanks Mike, I have already done most of what you describe and appreciate it very much. What I’m confused about is what and where to place the new library location reference in the /etc/rd.conf file. I see no sign of an entry that points to the /var/snd directory that I can modify. Also, I’ve tried mounting my NAS directory to /var/snd but have had no success with it as the mount point, /var/snd, has no files showing. I suspect it’s a Raspberry Pi Raspian permissions issue but I have not been able to figure out have to fix this even though the mount is successful.

(I work in three different operating systems in my day job, plus Rivendell/CentOS, and I forgot which one I was talking about. <smile>) I'm not much of a Linux guy, but here's what I've done as an experiment. I'm counting on the more experienced folks on the list to point out errors and flaws. This is using Win10, standard Rivendell 3 on CentOS, running on VMWare under Win10, and a pretty old consumer-grade Netgear ReadyNAS, at address 192.168.86.30. 1. Use the Netgear web interface to create a shared folder in the NAS. I used the name "rivendell". Ensure the folder is marked public. 2. By default, the only way to access a new ReadyNAS shared folder is by using Windows file services (Netgear calls this "CIFS"). Use the web interface to also activate these services for the "rivendell" folder: 1. "NFS". Ensure the "Default Access" is set to "Read/write". My NAS is on a UPS, so I've disabled "Sync mode". 2. "HTTP/S". Ensure the Default Access is set to something other than "Disabled". I used "Read-only". 3. I could now see the shared folder in a web browser, at 192.168.86.30/rivendell, on both Windows and CentOS. On the Rivendell/CentOS machine, you can access the NFS share by issuing these commands as root: 1. Create a /var/rivendell directory. Don't put anything in it - this is used as a target for a mount. mkdir /var/rivendell 2. Make the NAS shared folder available to CentOS: mount -t nfs 192.168.86.30:/rivendell /var/rivendell/ At this point you can work with /var/rivendell as if it were any other directory - except that it's on the NAS. For example, you could update the rd.conf audio store settings to point to /var/rivendell instead of /var/snd The /var/rivendell directory on your local drive is hidden. If you unmount ("umount") the /var/rivendell remote directory, the local one will re-appear. There are issues with Rivendell file and directory permissions, and you definitely want to update the /etc/fstab file so the NAS share gets mounted at boot time. I leave those as an exercise for someone more experienced than me.

First you said the file to do this is /etc/rd.config. I suspect you meant etc/rd.conf? Once in that file I see the [AudioStore] section but I do not see any mention of /var/snd. How does one make Riv look for a NAS mounted folder? Thanks very much, Phil From: rivendell-dev-boun...@lists.rivendellaudio.org [mailto:rivendell-dev-boun...@lists.rivendellaudio.org] On Behalf Of Mike Carroll Sent: Wednesday, March 04, 2020 6:51 PM To: Frank Christel Cc: User discussion about the Rivendell Radio Automation System Subject: Re: [RDD] Riv with a NAS You specify the location of both the sound directory and the SQL server address in /etc/rd.config. Note that the directory can be named anything, but is traditionally called /var/snd. I haven't put a Rivendell library on a NAS. But our music server at home, running on Raspberry Pi Raspbian, has an NFS mount to our consumer-grade NAS. I had to activate the NFS service in the NAS, but after that it was just a normal mount from the Pi. So I expect something similar would need to be done for your NAS.

My immediate goal is in learning how to move the Rivendell audio storage location to a different hard drive on the same machine. I haven’t yet located where in RDAdmin(?) to modify the audio and database default location of "(directory) /var/snd".
