i'm currently using samba for fileshares with my media center (xbmc/openelec on a pi). I have a server on the network with 20 different harddisks on this system that contain all my media. I have directory "/home/user/media" on my server into which i "mount --bind" all the media i want to be accessible on xbmc (on the pi) or on other computers on the local network. To give you an idea of the mounts on my server:
/home/user/media#located on /dev/sda
/home/user/media/Movies#located on /dev/sdf used 'mount --bind /dev/sdf/Movies /home/user/media/Movies'
/home/user/media/Series#located on /dev/sda has +300 sub directories, that i created within '/home/user/media/Series' and 'mount --bind' from all other locations/hdd's into the respective folder within '/home/user/media/Series'?e.g.
/home/user/media/Series/24#located on /dev/sdb used 'mount --bind /dev/sdb/24 /home/user/media/Series/24'?
/home/user/media/Series/Star.Trek#located on /dev/sdc used 'mount --bind' and so forth but also:
/home/user/media/Series/Animation#located on /dev/sda has +30 sub directories, e.g.
/home/user/media/Series/Animation/Ben10#located on /dev/sdz used 'mount --bind /dev/sdz/Ben10 /home/user/media/Series/Animation/Ben10'
a more elaborate list here:?http://pastebin.com/DhUA5tks
this all works fine, but I was told NFS would be faster so i wanted to give it a try. the server runs ubuntu 12.04.2, kernel 3.2.0-48-generic x86_64, up to date NFSv4. After installing NFS I tried simple exports (one folder without any sub directories that have no 'mount --bind' in them) and accessing them works fine. So now I thought to export the '/home/user/media' directory?but using the samba setup as described from above does not work. Ideally, I would like to have to nfs mount only?'/home/user/media' and have all the 'mount --bind' folders accessible on the server also accessible on all clients.
Rather then using the xbmc/pi mentioned above I use my laptop with ubuntu to test the export mounts as a client. In samba it was enough to share the parent folder, in this case '/home/user/media' and everything below that share would be visible but as i understand this is not the case in nfs, I need to specify each sub directory that is 'mount --bind' (from a different file system) in the export.
my export file:
/home/user/media/ ? ? ? 192.168.2.0/24(rw,insecure,fsid=0,nohide,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,async)
/home/user/media/Movies ? ? ? 192.168.2.0/24(rw,insecure,nohide,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,async)
/home/user/media/Series ? ? ? 192.168.2.0/24(rw,insecure,nohide,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,async)

/home/user/media/Series/show_34? ? ? ?192.168.2.0/24(rw,insecure,nohide,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,async)
/home/user/media/Series/Animations ? ? ? 192.168.2.0/24(rw,insecure,nohide,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,async)
/home/user/media/Series/Animations/show_1 ? ? ? 192.168.2.0/24(rw,insecure,nohide,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,async)
/home/user/media/Series/Animations/show_2 ? ? ? 192.168.2.0/24(rw,insecure,nohide,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,async)
I also have tried 'crossmnt' instead of 'nohide' as I'm using a subnet and that appears to be problematic at times.?
/home/user/media/ ? ? ? 192.168.2.0/24(rw,insecure,fsid=0,crossmnt,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,async)
/home/user/media/Movies ? ? ? 192.168.2.0/24(rw,insecure,crossmnt,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,async)
/home/user/media/Series ? ? ? 192.168.2.0/24(rw,insecure,crossmnt,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,async)
/home/user/media/Series/show_33 ? ? ? 192.168.2.0/24(rw,insecure,crossmnt,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,async)
/home/user/media/Series/show_34? ? ? ?192.168.2.0/24(rw,insecure,crossmnt,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,async)
/home/user/media/Series/Animations ? ? ? 192.168.2.0/24(rw,insecure,crossmnt,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,async)
/home/user/media/Series/Animations/show_1 ? ? ? 192.168.2.0/24(rw,insecure,crossmnt,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,async)
/home/user/media/Series/Animations/show_2 ? ? ? 192.168.2.0/24(rw,insecure,crossmnt,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,async)
Same result.
I also have tried 'nohide' and then specified only the client IP instead of subnet info.
/home/user/media/ ? ? ??192.168.2.101(rw,insecure,fsid=0,nohide,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,async)
/home/user/media/Movies ? ? ??192.168.2.101(rw,insecure,nohide,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,async)
/home/user/media/Series ? ? ??192.168.2.101(rw,insecure,nohide,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,async)
/home/user/media/Series/show_33 ? ? ??192.168.2.101(rw,insecure,nohide,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,async)
/home/user/media/Series/show_34 ? ? ??192.168.2.101(rw,insecure,nohide,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,async)
/home/user/media/Series/Animations ? ? ??192.168.2.101(rw,insecure,nohide,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,async)
/home/user/media/Series/Animations/show_1 ? ? ??192.168.2.101(rw,insecure,nohide,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,async)
/home/user/media/Series/Animations/show_2 ? ? ??192.168.2.101(rw,insecure,nohide,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,async)
Also does not work.
In all the above scenarios I manage to mount on client side:
sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.2.3:/home/user/media/ /home/jarvis/Videos/xbmc
but when i try to mount in any of the above described scenarios i get timeout e.g.:
sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.2.3:/home/user/media/Movies /home/jarvis/Videos/xbmc/Movies
What I would want is to only mount the parent export on the client side, e.g.:
sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.2.3:/home/user/media/ /home/jarvis/Videos/xbmc
and have all directories/files that are available on the server side under '/home/user/media/' to be available on client side under '/home/jarvis/Videos/xbmc' as I have with samba at the moment
how to achieve this?
Thanks also for your response, I have tried you suggestion of:?
? ? /home/user/media/ 192.168.2.0/24(rw,insecure,crossmnt,no_root_check,no_subtree_check)
but got an error that 'no_root_check' was unknown, so i suppose just a type and meant was:
? ? /home/user/media/ 192.168.2.0/24(rw,insecure,crossmnt,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check)
but still it does not work, not only on ubuntu but also not on xbmc (openelec/rpi)

No, it should actually be sufficient just to export the parent.? Also,
we don't recommend fsid=0 any longer.? Also, "async" should be avoided.
So just:
??? /home/user/media/ 192.168.2.0/24(rw,insecure,crossmnt,no_root_check,no_subtree_check)
and you mount that with "mount myserver:/home/user/media /mymountpoint".
(Note the "crossmnt", which tells the server to export all the children
automatically.)
If that doesn't work you've probably found a bug.? I'd recommend
reporting that to Ubuntu, and/or here if you can reproduce with recent
kernel and nfs-utils.

thanks a lot!!!
I tried the commands you suggested below for further debug and this one:
cat /proc/net/rpc/nfsd.export/content
showed me a folder that was first "mount --bind" into one of the exported folders and later it was moved from the original storage location but the "mount --bind" wasn't removed, that caused some sort of error and thus the nfs mounts were not working, once i corrected the original location of that "mount --bind" it all worked :)

That does sound like a kernel or mountd bug.? Possibly it's confused by
the bind mounts.? Could you post the contents of /proc/self/mounts on
the server?
Also, reproduce the hang as above on the client, then as root on the
server, run:
??? rpcdebug -m rpc -s cache
??? cat /proc/net/auth.unix.ip/content
??? cat /proc/net/rpc/nfsd.fh/content
??? cat /proc/net/rpc/nfsd.export/content
and post the output.
Finally if you're up to building the latest nfs-utils and kernel from
source it would be interesting to know whether the bug persists
upstream.

As I said, if you've dropped the "fsid=0" (which you should) then you
should be mounting the real server-side path, not /.

That does sound like a kernel or mountd bug. Possibly it's confused by
the bind mounts. Could you post the contents of /proc/self/mounts on
the server?
Also, reproduce the hang as above on the client, then as root on the
server, run:
rpcdebug -m rpc -s cache
cat /proc/net/auth.unix.ip/content
cat /proc/net/rpc/nfsd.fh/content
cat /proc/net/rpc/nfsd.export/content
and post the output.
Finally if you're up to building the latest nfs-utils and kernel from
source it would be interesting to know whether the bug persists
upstream.

thanks for the response:?
sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.2.3:/home/user/media/ /home/jarvis/Videos/xbmc
cat /proc/mounts
192.168.2.3:/home/user/media/?/home/jarvis/Videos/xbmc nfs rw,relatime,vers=3,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,namlen=255,hard,proto=tcp,timeo=600,retrans=2,sec=sys,mountaddr=192.168.2.3,mountvers=3,mountport=56597,mountproto=udp,local_lock=none,addr=192.168.2.3 0 0
so umounted and tried as you suggested:
sudo?mount 192.168.2.3:/ /home/jarvis/Videos/xbmc
cat /proc/mounts
192.168.2.3:/ /home/jarvis/Videos/xbmc nfs4 rw,relatime,vers=4,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,namlen=255,hard,proto=tcp,timeo=600,retrans=2,sec=sys,clientaddr=192.168.2.101,minorversion=0,local_lock=none,addr=192.168.2.3 0 0
but still same problem, should i nfs mount all the subdirectories on the client side? other ideas? thank you in advance :)

I am assuming this worked fine, correct? Are you using NFSv3 or V4? User
(cat /proc/mounts to see if that is mounted with NFSv4 or V3). For
V4, the following should work:
mount 192.168.2.3:/ /home/jarvis/Videos/xbmc

You should be able to achieve this with NFSv4.

No, it should actually be sufficient just to export the parent. Also,
we don't recommend fsid=0 any longer. Also, "async" should be avoided.
So just:
/home/user/media/ 192.168.2.0/24(rw,insecure,crossmnt,no_root_check,no_subtree_check)
and you mount that with "mount myserver:/home/user/media /mymountpoint".
(Note the "crossmnt", which tells the server to export all the children
automatically.)
If that doesn't work you've probably found a bug. I'd recommend
reporting that to Ubuntu, and/or here if you can reproduce with recent
kernel and nfs-utils.

Exactly what commands did you type, and what things happened, in what
order?
--b.
ah ok, i have dropped the?"fsid=0" as you had suggested but had still mounted with "sudo mount 192.168.2.3:/ /home/jarvis/Videos/xbmc"
though when doing tab completition on cli it does show?
ls?/home/jarvis/Videos/xbmc/
ls?/home/jarvis/Videos/xbmc/home
ls?/home/jarvis/Videos/xbmc/home/user
ls?/home/jarvis/Videos/xbmc/home/user/media

As I said, if you've dropped the "fsid=0" (which you should) then you
should be mounting the real server-side path, not /.

So the mount succeeds, but the "ls" hangs?

Exactly what commands did you type, and what things happened, in what
order?

> this all works fine, but I was told NFS would be faster so i wanted to give it a try. the server runs ubuntu 12.04.2, kernel 3.2.0-48-generic x86_64, up to date NFSv4. After installing NFS I tried simple exports (one folder without any sub directories that have no 'mount --bind' in them) and accessing them works fine. So now I thought to export the '/home/user/media' directory?but using the samba setup as described from above does not work. Ideally, I would like to have to nfs mount only?'/home/user/media' and have all the 'mount --bind' folders accessible on the server also accessible on all clients.
> Rather then using the xbmc/pi mentioned above I use my laptop with ubuntu to test the export mounts as a client. In samba it was enough to share the parent folder, in this case '/home/user/media' and everything below that share would be visible but as i understand this is not the case in nfs, I need to specify each sub directory that is 'mount --bind' (from a different file system) in the export.

I am assuming this worked fine, correct? Are you using NFSv3 or V4? User
(cat /proc/mounts to see if that is mounted with NFSv4 or V3). For
V4, the following should work:
mount 192.168.2.3:/ /home/jarvis/Videos/xbmc

You should be able to achieve this with NFSv4.
