trying to mount a network drive in FreeNAS

[backupking]

hi
I got 2 wd network drives with data on for our plex collection and also a sinology drive which collects new tv shows etc.

I can mount drives from FreeNAS to windows and to my sinology nas no issues.

But I cannot mount one of my network drives what has all the shows etc on them over 10tb of stuff on separate drives.

Is the way to mount them inside FreeNAS look through google etc but only showing to mount FreeNAS on another NAS system not NAS system to FreeNAS. Can it be done or not?


thanks

FreeNAS is designed to be a file server, not a file server client. Therefore, there's no GUI support for mounting network shares from other hosts. You can always go it from the CLI, though.

Hi

How do I do it from CLI, please?

hi
this is the error message I get when I try to mount the drive
I type this into the shell
mount -t nfs 192.168.1.120:/volume3/plex temp2/tv shows /mnt/remoteshare

[root@freenas ~]# mount -t nfs 192.168.1.120:/volume3/plex temp2/tv shows /mnt/r
emoteshare
usage: mount [-adflpruvw] [-F fstab] [-o options] [-t ufs | external_type]
mount [-dfpruvw] special | node
mount [-dfpruvw] [-o options] [-t ufs | external_type] special node
[root@freenas ~]#

You have a space in "plex temp2", and "tv shows"...
Look at how you handle that.

hi ok I change it to this to remote share
mount -t nfs 192.168.1.120:/volume1/Plex/test /mnt/remoteshare
now I get this back

[tcp] 192.168.1.120:/volume1/Plex/test: RPCPROG_NFS: RPC: Port mapper failure -
