Add NAS with NFS

Sun May 03, 2015 11:25 am

Hi,

What I'm trying to do is run Plex server from my Pi 2. I've used tutorials to set up minibian and plex, and add a USB drive. All working fine. However, all of my media is stored on my NAS (a WD MyCloud - which I assume has some form of linux as it's OS) and I want to add that as my stored media folder.

I've been doing some reading and I think the better way of adding this is via NFS. The Pi connects to my network hub as does the NAS, so it doesn't need to have anything to do with windows (I assume). I've followed various tutorials to try and mount the flipping thing, but no joy. I know the IP of the WD drive, the folder I want to add is /Public and have made a mount folder of /mnt/nas on the Pi. I've tried the following :-

pi@raspberrypi:~$ sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.1.XXX:/Public /mnt/nas

and the error I get is

mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting 192.168.1.XXX:/Public

Any ideas where to go with this?
