ICLlP wroteIs this still working for you? Why did you go the NFS route rather than SMB/CIFS?
Because it's there... Seriously, partly windows phobia, partly because I don't know that much about non unix protocols, and also because there are a few differences in OSX and Linux implementations I'm curious about experiencing. It hasn't stopped working since I set it up, usage is like 16hrs a day! (I work at home).
Have I understood your instructions correctly?
On my iMac:
1) Open Terminal
2) type: sudo vi /etc/exports
3) hit: Enter
vi is modal: you need to type "i" (no quotes) to enter insert mode; then:
4) type: /Volumes/Drobo/Music -maproot=ifor -ro -network 10.0.0.103 -mask 255.255.255.0
5) hit: Enter
For vi, hit Escape instead, then either ":wq" (write,quit), or Shift-Z-Z in sequence
"ifor" is your username? Then correct; I suspect 10.0.0.103 is the IP of your rPI? If so, replace "-network 10.0.0.103 -mask 255.255.255.0" with just the IP. Your final line should look like:
/Volumes/Drobo/Music -maproot=ifor -ro 10.0.0.103
Question: should the above be the IP address of the iMac or the Pi?
It's the IP of your Pi; the Pi is the NFS client, you are telling your NFS server (the iMac) to authorize the Pi to connect.
Question: no need for password? Just username?
Nope, at least not in this current implementation. I know OSX has security features, but I suspect they will not play well with the linux side.
6) type: sudo launchctl enable /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.nfsd.plist
7) hit: Enter
8) type: sudo launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.nfsd.plist
9) hit: Enter
10) On runeaudio define the share via RuneUI, specifying a name for the source (Music), ip address of the NFSserver (10.0.0.103), and the directory path to you music files (Drobo/Music) or is it (Volumes/Drobo/Music)?
That's it I hope. I check the forum at least once a day, so please feel free to ask if you still run into trouble. If I can help, I will!
