Server Version#:plexmediaserver_1.28.1.6018-c1f308c6a_amd64 DSM 6.2.4 I am trying to configure PMS on Ubuntu and map libraries to an existing share on a Synology DS1515. Previous setup was Windows server. I am unable to mount using NFS or CIFS, and not exactly sure which I should aim to use. Ex…

Additional details: Error attempting to mount: $ sudo mount -a mount.nfs: an incorrect mount option was specified New line in /etc/fstab: 192.168.1.147:/volume1/a /home/aal/media/plex/ nfs credentials=/var/lib/plexmediaserver/.mountaccess,nounix,iocharset=utf8 0 0

@trichome sudo apt install nfs-common Also remove the credentials statements. all you need are nfs defaults,auto,rw,nofail,bg 0 0 NFS client tools are not part of the standard Ubuntu distro (insane for Linux not to have NFS)

I’m a little confused about why you’re trying to configure PMS on Ubuntu when your media resides on a Synology DS1515. Why not simply run PMS on the Synology? I run my PMS on my Synology DS1019+, in fact in a Docker container. I export the /volume1/Media from my Synology by having this in /etc/expo…

[image] ChuckPa: NFS client tools are not part of the standard Ubuntu distro (insane for Linux not to have NFS) Isn’t everybody just using SMB nowadays (even though it’s a lot slower)?

@adefaria NO. SMB is a PITA Using a Windows protocol for Linux - Linux is nonsensical

I’m 100% on your side, Chuck. I was being extremely sarcastic - sorry that didn’t show through. There’s no SMB in my house, no Windows ('cept in a VM that I hardly ever run) and everything is NFS.

Not sure how I didn’t find this looking through the forum pins, but very helpful, thank you. I was able to mount everything on first try except the ‘photos’ example as I did want to take that same approach making that RO. I will revisit that later and check my work. But everything else is mounted…

Thank you for the reply. I must admit, I haven’t even considered my PMS setup for several years now, so I’m happy to be wrong if this setup no longer makes sense. My understanding was that running an NVIDIA P2000 GPU (which is what the Ubuntu server has) would perform better transcoding remote str…

[image] trichome: My understanding was that running an NVIDIA P2000 GPU (which is what the Ubuntu server has) would perform better transcoding remote streams than the DS1515 would. Given you have a P2000 and a (presumably) reasonable CPU in the Ubuntu machine, it will perform much better tha…
