It will not natively do this.
Categories: Hard Drives / Storage
Hello folks,
I've got an interesting question that I haven't seen in forum yet. I'm new to pogoplug and I have a fairly big network at the house. I also have one ubuntu server that I use for file sharing, web server, vpn etc. So my question is : Is it possible to have my server appear as a drive in pogoplug? I have a lot of files on my server (music, videos, pictures) so it'd be convenient to just mount my server into pogoplug and share it with others. You may be wondering why I got pogoplug if I already have a server running but I got pogoplug because of its UI and easy to stream files to all my devices since I'm always on the road.
Thanks in advance!
Is it possible to have my server run a rive in pogoplug using this plugsins? optware and plugapps?
You should be able to mount a samba drive, but i dont know how the pogoplug services would present/search.
IDK what features the april release of pogoplug will change.
Mount a samba drive seems a little less efficient than mount a NFS drive. I'll look around to see what they've got. I wish the pogoplug would do that.
Optware might have the NFS package. The question is the support for NFS on the Pro's kernel from CE.
native NFS and samba are on the requests list many times.
For the heck of it. I just tried an NFS mount command. I'll run up an Optware rel quick, and see what works. I dont have NFS at home so..
Ok, had to hack and slash a bit, but yes, you should be able to NFS mount on the pro, via optware

You'll need to get the required rpc services around. The kernel & mount can manage it, but the services arent natively there:
[935903.540000] rpcbind: server localhost not responding, timed out
[935938.540000] rpcbind: server localhost not responding, timed out
[935945.030000] svc: failed to register lockdv1 RPC service (errno 512).
[935945.030000] lockd_up: makesock failed, error=-512
[936006.820000] rpcbind: server localhost not responding, timed out
[936041.820000] rpcbind: server localhost not responding, timed out
[936045.280000] svc: failed to register lockdv1 RPC service (errno 5).
but it is possible:
192.168.11.8:/media/movies on /tmp/t type nfs (rw,relatime,vers=2,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,namlen=255,hard,proto=udp,timeo=7,retrans=3,sec=sys,addr=192.168.11.8)
/tmp/t #
For the record: I installed optware on top of my chroot.
All you'll really need from ipkg to manage to mount nfs is the portmap package.
Wow! Interesting. I haven't tried that. I'm going to try it to see if it works and I'll let you know. Thanks!
