I run Plex currently on a DIY Linux server. I plan to migrate to my new PR2100. One of things I do is mount a permanent share on my Plex Linux server to the MyCloud (4tb) DVR (HDHomeRun DVR) so I can then add that share to Plex to automatically scan and add to its database.
I have searched the net but I cannot find a reference to how to mount a remote network share from a PR2100
I thought I found the answer using the Windows Share Aggregation but it is only visible as a network SMB share but is invisible to the native files system on the PR2100?
It is not clear to me that the My Cloud Pro Web interface will expose this capability to the user? Plex only understands local mounts so the ability to permanently mount a remote share is a requirement for my usage scenario.
I desperately need this feature so I can complete my migration from my DIY server.
Iahve tried both CIFS and NFS and get error messages. I am using a command like:
mount -t cifs //WDMYCLOUD/HDHomeRun /mnt/hddvr
and get this message:
root@MyCloudPR2100 /mnt # mount -t cifs //WDMYCLOUD/HDHomeRun /mnt/hddvr
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //WDMYCLOUD/HDHomeRun,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
(for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might
need a /sbin/mount. helper program)
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
Can you provide an CIFS or NFS command line that will actually work?
mount -t cifs //<your 4tb mycloud IP address>// /shares// -o username=root,password=pwd
This assumes your username is root on both devices and have the same password. (Of course you don’t need the <> brackets, that is just notation)
Oh @#$ this board sanitized the answer! Here is again with no brackets:
mount -t cifs //4tbmcloudipaddress/sharename/ /shares/localsharename/ -o username=root,password=pwd
