NFS Nas not showing up in media hub

I changed my nas from smb to nfs for more speed, but now my NAS isn’t showing under the root directory in the media hub.

Is there a way to fix this?

Thanks

Where is the NAS mounted to?

To an aggregation switch.

nah on your local machine. /mnt? /media? /Volumes?

Equally, are you expecting the NAS to automount using autofs?
Is your workstation Linux or macOS or both?
autofs can be deployed on either operating system but naturally expects different config filenames - thanks apple for more fun, more surprises…
Call if you want, I’m in the middle of:
Network file sharing and permissions!
Who knew?

Check your NAS admin panel to enable NFS services and properly export shares with correct permissions.

On your media hub, manually mount the NFS share by creating a mount point and adding an entry to fstab or using the mount command. Install NFS client support if needed.

Restart your media hub’s indexing service or the device to recognize the NFS mount. This will restore access to your NAS with NFS speed benefits.

Hi. might be a dumb question but can a mac by default mount a nfs share via connect to server, with the url: nfs://my nas ip address

Hi John,

nfs://<IP_or_HOSTNAME>/

Showmount -e hostnamewill list the exported directories to help construct the above address and path. On macOS, the fastest and easiest for method would be to click on the OS Desktop or Finder, press Command and K at the same time and enter in the address and path. There are multiple other methods to accomplish this, but this is accessible to all users. As an example using the Finder - Connect to Server dialouge:

nfs://192.168.222.100/Storage/SAN1
