Hi, Phil.
You're correct, it's "rd.conf". (I work in three different operating
systems in my day job, plus Rivendell/CentOS, and I forgot which one I was
talking about. <smile>)
I'm not much of a Linux guy, but here's what I've done as an experiment.
I'm counting on the more experienced folks on the list to point out errors
and flaws. This is using Win10, standard Rivendell 3 on CentOS, running on
VMWare under Win10, and a pretty old consumer-grade Netgear ReadyNAS, at
address 192.168.86.30.
1. Use the Netgear web interface to create a shared folder in the NAS.
I used the name "rivendell". Ensure the folder is marked public.
2. By default, the only way to access a new ReadyNAS shared folder is by
using Windows file services (Netgear calls this "CIFS"). Use the web
interface to also activate these services for the "rivendell" folder:
1. "NFS". Ensure the "Default Access" is set to "Read/write". My NAS
is on a UPS, so I've disabled "Sync mode".
2. "HTTP/S". Ensure the Default Access is set to something other
than "Disabled". I used "Read-only".
3. I could now see the shared folder in a web browser, at
192.168.86.30/rivendell, on both Windows and CentOS.
On the Rivendell/CentOS machine, you can access the NFS share by issuing
these commands as root:
1. Create a /var/rivendell directory. Don't put anything in it - this is
used as a target for a mount. mkdir /var/rivendell
2. Make the NAS shared folder available to CentOS: mount -t nfs
192.168.86.30:/rivendell /var/rivendell/
At this point you can work with /var/rivendell as if it were any other
directory - except that it's on the NAS. For example, you could update the
rd.conf audio store settings to point to /var/rivendell instead of
/var/snd
The /var/rivendell directory on your local drive is hidden. If you unmount
("umount") the /var/rivendell remote directory, the local one will
re-appear.
There are issues with Rivendell file and directory permissions, and you
definitely want to update the /etc/fstab file so the NAS share gets mounted
at boot time. I leave those as an exercise for someone more experienced
than me.
