RE: [Freevo-users] mounting remote fs's
John, can you move that to the 1.5.x section of configuration? I think its
a better place.

Great, thanks for the feedback.. I think I must have some system
issues then. Just noticed when trying /etc/init.d/autofs
restart I
get a !! error when trying to shut down. Same with stop.
I vaguely recall that i had the same issues in the beginning,
not sure what solved it though, sorry.
Trying from the command line (automount dirname
/etc/autofs/auto.smbnet) Returns nothing and when grepping
for process
I see nothing (ps aux | grep automount is empty) Can you
grep for the
same and tell me what you see??
5410 ?S 0:00 /usr/sbin/automount --timeout 30
/smbnet file /etc/autofs/auto.smbnet
cat /etc/autofs/auto.master
cat /etc/autofs/auto.smbnet
Mine are the same.. Tell me, have you created all the dirs? Which
dirs are automagically made by autofs?
You don't have to create any dirs, autofs will do that for you.
local.conf.py
VIDEO_ITEMS = [ ('Movies', '/media/movies/Films'),
('XP movies','xp:/smbnet/xp'),
('Jazz captures', '/media/movies/Jazz'),
('Storage movies','storage:/smbnet/storage')]
Notice the hostname xp or storage before the path, it
tries to ping
the hostname and when succesfull the entry shows up in the menu.
Thanks for this. How does storage go if this is not a
pingable device?
Well leave it out then, it does show up in the menu i believe
but you can't enter it.
Good luck.

[Freevo-users] mounting remote fs's
Just a poll to gather opinions.. What would you guys usefor this scenario: I have a (windows) laptop which holds some music and video files, and then I have my freevo box connected via remote. I'm looking for a method to mount the laptops shares as readonly when it is available, and then remove the mount when it is not.. The optoins I have found are: i) a cron job ii) automount + autofs (I tried and failed last night, i can't seem to find any documentaiton for mounting a not NFS share??) iii) supermount (seems just as hard a automount.. need to path kernel.) iv) your suggestions or comments welcome ;-) Mick --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by BEA Weblogic Workshop FREE Java Enterprise J2EE developer tools!
