Perhaps it is just terminology, but I take pk_fox to mean "mount a file system
on another computer", and yes in that case you mount it as a network file system (as opposed to a ext4 or reiser or jfs file system).
I have no experience of Samba or Android, but I was advised that setting up nfs is simpler than Samba. I have set up my RPi as an nfs server, and found it does not have the network modules by default (the designers ever envisaged this use), so it needs more than adding an exports file; rpcbind and nfs-kernel-server need to be installed from the repository.
My mount command btw goes :
- Code: Select all
mount -t nfs 192.168.1.9:/home/common /home/nuke/RPi_common
... where 192.168.1.9 is my RPi, ...../common is the RPi directory I am mounting, and ...../RPi_common is the mount point on my PC.
