Help recording to NAS drive

[Garfieldhi]

Hi,

I hope someone will be able to help me with this, its probably something really simple I am missing but it has me stumped! I am looking to record to my NAS as it has more space and I keep filling up my internal storage, if I go menu, setup, system, network, mount setup my NAS is there and mounted. I can play films stored on the NAS by pressing the recording list (on the remote) and yellow button to change the location and the drive shows up, but if I go to menu, setup, VIX, mount manager it does not show up.

Any help would be very much appreciated, details about my box are below.

Many thanks Tim

You need to setup you mount as HDD

Post up your automounts config file and we'll have a look

[Garfieldhi]

Is this what you need, if not can you let me know where it sits so I can find it.

Thanks

Change that to True reboot and try again

[marty]

Might want to try NFS instead of CIFS

[marty]

Which do you want to write to? freenas or store freenas?

[Garfieldhi]

No I still only have the internal drive in the Vix mount manager??

[marty]

You won't see it in mount manager

[Garfieldhi]

Yes I noticed I created it twice, they are both the same, I have changed to NFS and restarted but still the same?

[Garfieldhi]

Ok, but how do I record to the drive if it is at all possible?

[marty]

Is your HDD mounted in mount manager as /media/hdd? if so try changing it to something else (like hdd2) reboot and try again.

Automounts should then use your NAS for recoring

[marty]

I have two boxes here that I record to my NAS with, but they both nave no INT HDD.
500GB is plenty, why not just transfer some of it to your NAS if full? seems pointless to have an INT HDD but then want to write to NAS

[Garfieldhi]

Sorry how do I change this, I can't find it?

Thanks
