How to create NFS share on Raspbmc ?

[curious_pi]

Hi,
Today I installed Raspbmc on my B+. Everything is working great but problem is I need to physically remove the attached flash drive each time I need to copy a new video file. Other than the Pie I am using Linux Mint on my Desktop.

I have created nfs server under linux. Is there a way to create a NFS share under Raspbmc ? I will just boot my desktop mount the share and copy the files.

You can use your Mint machine as an NFS server and export part of its filesysyem to the Pi. Your PI will then be an NFS client and it can mount the exported part of the filesystem onto a mount point.

Google found these useful looking links for me by searching for "pi nfs setup"

I have configured the Pi as a NFS server with /media as shared folder. I can mount it form my Mint PC but problem is when I try to transfer large files the file copy process is crashing midway. My guess is a slow USB flash drive which is th shared folder in this case is the causing the crashes..

All I can say is that I use my Mint machine as NFS server, and multiple PIs as clients, and I've never had any problems doing it that way round.
