I'm not going to go back to a clean F19 image right now, but IIRC we
already have samba configured out-of-the-box to work on the assumption
that your media drive/share is mounted to /storage and using the
VortexBox directory structure. Cant remember whether nfs was
pre-configured. I think that I added an entry to exports for /storage
but commented it.

I think it might be easier for a show and tell, rather than try and
explain in words, which is not going to happen until tomorrow. I've been
re-working the "storage" functionality in the Java web-gui. Completely
dumbing it down, if you like. /storage is the only mount point. You
either mount a local partition to it, or remote (nfs or cifs). Mount and
unmount buttons. And a button to create the VB directory structure. The
idea being, by dumbing the whole thing down, it just works, without
needing to edit samba and nfs config, just use what is pre-configured.
And the more I think about it, this is the way to go. Get this working
100% and then consider having more mount points. Have LMS preconfigured
out of the box to use the pre-defined directory structure.
