Mount a CIFS or NFS share

Contents

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
