[LUG] OT: Sharing NFS folders on NAS with RaspbMBC Raspberry Pi

[Julian Hall <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

This used to work before I had to rebuild my NAS. The hardware setup is 
simple:

Synology DS212j with 2 x 2Tb drives in RAID 1 configuration;
3 Shared folders:  CASSIOPEIA, DIANA and PERSEPHONE.
Device Name on network: Zeus
Fixed IP address: 192.168.1.3

All folders have NFS permissions set as follows:

Privileges:

Admin      R/W
guest       R
julian       R/W
raspbmc R

NFS Privileges

Client: 192.168.1.0/24 [I tried with 192.168.1.3 [Cerce - desktop PC] 
and 192.168.1.7 listed separately. That didn't work either.]
Privileges: Read/Write
Root squash: No mapping
Asynchronous: Yes

The Pi has a fixed IP (identified by MAC) of 192.168.1.7 so falls into 
the correct range. However when I try to add a source in RaspBMC, for 
example for Pictures, I get to the dialogue to select an NFS source, 
browse to the server IP address and open it. However although I can see 
the three Shared Folders listed I cannot open any of them; if I click on 
one nothing happens - no error message just no activity.

The only difference I can think of with the previous setup is that I 
/may/ have had it formatted SHR - Synology Hybrid Array - which as far 
as I know is RAID1 anyway, and I only had one shared folder. That worked 
seamlessly with no extra setup on the NAS. All I did was browse on the 
Pi to the shared folder and saved it.

Any advice / suggestions gratefully received :)

Kind regards,

Julian
