NFS Mount: anyone tried this?
 

Some time ago I found a set of instructions to mount an external storage on N770:

http://linux.seindal.dk/item91.html

They work well and all is ok, I usually mount my PC HDD to see videos etc. without having to transfer them on the MMC once I am at home. (using a NFS server on XP, through a wireless router)

The only cons is that it takes a loooooong time to mount (1 min more or less). In that page, someone also linked to:

http://vidar.gimp.org/n770/slackware.phpx

saying that doing that installations would help having a very fast mount.

Did anyone tried that? I get errors when installing coreutils (something like "usr/bin/comm not found in package")!

I also tried sending an email to that guy but receive no answer..

Thanks for your help.

I am
 

I followed his (http://vidar.gimp.org/n770/slackware.phpx) instructions and it works great, mounts in about 1 second?

There is a portmap deb in the ApplicationCatalog:

This means you don't have to faff about with the ARMedslack "packages".

I've installed portmap and NFS mounts are near instanteous.

It takes quite a bit of CPU to access files from an NFS share, though.

How do the install / port works? Do you have a NFS on Win or Linux?

Ah! I'll try this out, thanks a lot. Do I have to start portmap each time I want to mount an NFS partition? Is there any problem if I start portmap during 770 boot? (I know how to do)

Should be fine to start it once during boot.

Get a "Impossible to execute the installation. PaAckage not compatible"

Argh!!!

No one knows how I should get rid of this?

I'd try contacting the person who packaged it: http://armin-warda.de/
