Automount NFS drive?

[pasdesignal]

I running exactly the same setup as puupycrack et al as described over here:

posting.php?mode=post&f=2

Basically its kamikaze 8.09 / NFS mount / mpd etc

Have been trying to automount the nfs drive (which is on a x-wrt based server with a usb harddrive) for a week now and have had no luck.

I am editing the /etc/config/fstab file as so:

config mount
option target /mnt/media
option device 192.168.0.139:/mnt
option fstype nfs
option options rw,nolock
option enabled 1

Am I barking up the right tree?

I never got automount to work through fstab either, and ended up adding the mount command to my mpd script in init.d

OK, sounds promising.

I don't mind a workaround if thats what it takes.

Could you post an example?

Thanks for your reply.

This is the script that automatically starts mpd when the router boots. It also mounts the usb drive and the NFS share that contains my music:

/etc/init.d/mpd

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh /etc/rc.common
# Copyright (C) 2006-2008 OpenWrt.org

START=99
STOP=99

NAME=mpd

start() {
    # Delay so other boot scripts finish running
    sleep 5

    # Expand library path so packages installed on the usb drive can be found
    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usb/packages/usr/lib:/usb/packages/lib 
   
    # Mount the USB drive
    mount -t ext3 /dev/discs/disc0/part2 /usb
   
    # Run portmap, or mounting the NFS share wil take FOREVER
    portmap

    # Mount the NFS share
    mount -t nfs 192.168.0.192:/mnt/bigdata/music /usb/remote 

    # Run mpd
    /usb/packages/usr/bin/mpd /usb/packages/etc/mpd.conf 
} 

Now when you add a symlink to this file in /etc/rc.d/S99mpd, it will run the "start" function in this script automatically upon startup. The command to make a sym link is:

Code: Select all

ln -s /etc/init.d/mpd /etc/rc.d/S99mpd

Thank you.

It works a treat! Now I have mpd running and waiting for my commands everytime I power on.

AWESOME!
