    Hey guys,


    I'm having some problems trying to mount my Vu+ HDD to my dm500.


    Here's what I did so far:


    Done a clean install of PLI Jade 3 onto the dm500


    The IP of the dm500 is 192.168.1.22
    The IP of the VU is 192.168.1.17


    The recordings on my VU+ are stored in /media/hdd/movie directory


    I enabled the NFS server on the vu+ box.


    I entered mount manager on the remote control of the dm500 to create a mount.


    Here are my dm500 settings settings:


    Description: Vu
    Filesystem: NFS (automount ticked)
    IP Address: 192.168.1.17
    Mountpoint: /media/hdd
    Server Directory: movie
    username: (vu+ username)
    password (vu+ password)


    I then hit yellow to mount and then get a message which says "mount failed"


    Any ideas where im going wrong guys?


    Cheers

    when you are setting your server directory then you need to set the full directory path of what you want to mount- so if you want to mount the /media/hdd/movie directory then you need to have the server directory as /media/hdd/movie (not sure if you need the first '/' - don't need this on my Vu+ so take it out if it doesnt work


    The mount point is where you want to mount this on your dm500 - so if you want to mount this as a folder called 'movies' - then set your mountpoint as this


    essentially i think you have got the mountpoint and server directory round the wrong way.

    If I take a while to respond, you can see why.....
