It is possible to mount an NFS share on Windows. The ease of doing this depends on what version of Windows you have, and if you felt comfortable following and using the install instructions of the "The University of Michigan NFS v 4.1 client" for example ( see this ref: http://superuser.com/questions/254321/how-to-access-nfs-share-from-windows-7-pro ) Personally I would stick to SAMBA/CIFS if the same data needs to be accessed from both Linux and Windows. Remember the underlying filesystem the shared data is stored on can still be native to Linux, e.g. ext4. Not sure why you were told NFS was better. If you are running LMS your Wandboard I don't see any great advantage mounting your NAS audio data as a NFS share rather than a CIFS share. Perhaps if you had a weaker CPU like the single core RPi, then using NFS might reduce the load. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Krisbee's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=59080 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101624 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
