Re: [PLUG] Help with NFS Share

I think I see your problem.  You have your terms reversed in the mount 
statement.   See my correction below.

This should be:

sudo mount 10.0.0.7:/var/lib/mythtv/videos /videos




You might also need to add these terms between the "mount" and the "10.0.0.7"

-t nfs -o vers=3".


The "-t nfs" indicates an nfs mount
the "-o vers=3" makes the server and client negotiate on the older nfs version 
3.  For reasons I never understood, something about version 4 was harder to 
link.
