[split] Mounting NFS

[saafi]

Hello All,

I am trying to mount NFS share on my zp810 as I used on my ZTE Skate with Android 2.3 but it seems it is not possible:

I am using:

busybox mount -o port=2049,nolock,proto=tcp -t nfs 192.168.110.1:/mnt/segate /mnt/segate/

And I got:

mount: mounting 192.168.110.1:/mnt/segate on /mnt/segate/ failed: No such device

As long as I know a cifs/nfs module should be in place...but not soo sure for this ROM...

Anyone have any Idea ?

Hey Saafi,

What is your purpose here? Streaming content, or?

There are a couple of highly rated apps on Play for automating some of the CIFS/NFS process. Not sure if they will help you or not. Gizbeat is looking forward to your tutorial.

Guys....

cifs.ko is missing...this is the reason. We shall wait some more time to get it.

Gizbeat,

I have a Linux system wit attached external disk and running NFS server on the Linux box to share the disk content with my laptops and my phone (or at least my old phone)...Now it turns out that we are missing modules like cifs.ko and this prevent us from mounting NFS shares. If you know any other method of sharing please let me know...I would be happy to stream movies from my Linux box to my phone...again.

You could try setting up a SMB (Samba) or (S)FTP server, I'm guessing these methods will work fine, although the throughoutput may be a little lower but still plenty enough to stream HD vids.

SMB will not work without CIFS.ko and FTP will not be any use for streaming movies.
If you only want to stream media, your best option will be to install a upnp server on your Linux box and use a upnp browser on your phone.

I have found MediaTomb to be the best upnp server due to it's use of inotify to detect new file automatically, and its ability to serve filesystems, rather than using metadata which is quite often incomplete/wrong. This also allows better ability to sort files how you want within the filesystem.
On the phone side, I use BubbbleUPNP to browse the upnp share.

Cheers,

DH

Hello

Thanks for this option. It is nice but not possible to use subtitles as it only opens a file...and for audio files i prefer MOD + MPDroid that can play MPD streaming. Anyway I hope in the future we will have cifs.ko or evene I may try to compile it mysefl.

Hello Gents,

I am happy to share the workaround I found.

We all know that we don't have cifs.ko for our phones. Anyway after some digging around I managed to mount an external FS with using only the ssh daemon this is even more cool option as NFS requires that you are in the same subnet, while using SSH FS mount you can be everywhere you just need ssh connection to the server. I was able to stream fullhd movies using ssh.

By the way installing "Debian Kit" on android unleashed all Debian powers for your phone I as a Debian fan am extremely happy about this one.

Cheers!

Thank you saafi !
I did this and now i mounted my QNAP via SSHFS and everything works GREAT !

P.S. of course cifs.ko would've been easier but now i got debian :-)
