View source for Net.mounts

net.mounts is a file that can be put on either a usb drive connected to WDTV or in /conf directory on the WDTV itself.
It will mount network shares on boot which can then be accessed as local drive on the WDTV.


Example net.mounts to demonstrate options of xmount to be used in auto-mounting of network shares.
Note: that if you store a net.mounts file in /conf/ then it will ALSO execute on startup.


'''To see NFS/CIFS/XFS/ReiserFS/NDAS devices, you must either:'''
* '''have a supported drive/flashdisk plugged in for xmounts to appear''' 
OR
* '''have [[How_to_setup_CIFS_Interceptor|CIFSINTERCEPTOR]] enabled and /conf/cifs-interceptor set up with shares
'''

Note:
* '''Power cycle = unplug & re-plug power cable, *not* power off&on via remote'''



== Mount a windows file share (must be done by IP address) ==
 xmount "//192.168.0.33/ShareName" "ShareName" cifs

 xmount "//192.168.0.34/ShareName" "ShareName" cifs "user=username,pass=password"


== Mount an NFS share ==
 xmount 192.168.0.44:/nfsroot ShareName nfs
note: some NFS's have problems with the default mount option of UDP. If you have issues playing or listing content, then add '''proto=tcp''' as the fourth parameter.


== Mount a remote FTP == 
to find advanced options execute: '''curlftpfs --help'''
 xmount "ftp://192.168.0.234:21" "FTP Name" ftpfs "-o user=UserName:Password -o Option2"


== Mount a remote SSH server ==
sshfs *requires* keyless login<br/>
you can view your public key by executing: '''ssh-public-key'''<br/>
add your key to a remote machine by executing: '''ssh-copy-id user@server'''<br/>
to find options execute: '''sshfs --help'''<br/>
 xmount "User@ServerName:Directory" "Server Name"sshfs "-o follow_symlinks"


== combine previous xmounts using unionfs ==
unionfs takes a colon delimited list of 'ShareNames' and aggregates their content to the target directory structure is preserved. The following is an example, it mounts 4 remote shares 'hidden' so they are not visible in the OSD and then aggregates them. you hide an xmount by preceeding its 'ShareName' with a . (dot)

 xmount "192.168.0.44:/movies"   ".movies1"  nfs
 xmount "192.168.0.233:/stuff"   ".movies2"  nfs
 xmount "192.168.0.101:/movies3" ".movies3"  nfs
 xmount "192.168.0.151:/videos"  ".movies4"  nfs  
 xmount ".movies1:.movies2:.movies3:.movies4"  "ShareUnion"  unionfs
