Mount a CIFS or NFS share

  1. Enable the netmount service: rc-update add netmount default
  2. Add a mount point: rwdata.sh; mkdir /media/mmcblk0p2/library/nas; rwdata.sh
  3. Install packages:
    • for CIFS/SMB: apk add cifs-utils
    • for NFS: apk add nfs-utils
  4. Add mount point to /etc/fstab:
    • for CIFS/SMB: echo "//<nas>/<music> /media/mmcblk0p2/library/nas cifs guest,gid=audio,soft,_netdev 0 0" >> /etc/fstab
    • for NFS: echo "<nas>:/<music> /media/mmcblk0p2/library/nas nfs soft,_netdev 0 0" >> /etc/fstab
  5. Mount it: mount -a
  6. Save changes for next reboot: save.sh

Hint

If the share is not mounted at boot time, you can try to enable the net-online service: rc-update add net-online boot and edit /etc/conf.d/net-online configuration file.

Placeholders

  • <nas>: name or ip address of the cifs or nfs server
  • <music>: the share for cifs or export for nfs
