[SOLVED] NFS server and shares do not appear in nemo

[IronRod]

I'm using NFS to share some directories from my server to my desktop. The shares all work fine but I can't find a way to get them to appear in nemo for easy access.

I have tried mounting them manually:

Code: Select all

sudo mount media:/exports /mnt/nfs/media-server

Via an entry in fstab:

Code: Select all

media:/exports /mnt/nfs/media-server  nfs      defaults    0       0

Via autofs (using auto.master and auto.nfs)

Code: Select all

auto.master: /mnt/nfs /etc/auto.nfs --ghost --timeout=60
auto.nfs: media-server -fstype=nfs4,rw media:/exports

In all instances, the shares work fine. For example, I can open VLC and it easily accesses content under /mnt/nfs/media-server/Music. But in no instance does nemo display the mounts under "Devices" and the server doesn't appear under "Network". Is there some kind of cache I need to clear?

Note: I haven't used NFS this century - no exaggeration.

For all other mounts if you mount something under /media or in your home directory it will "appear" on the side panel of your file manager.

If you mount it anywhere else it will not .... unless you add another option to your mount declaration: x-gvfs-show

media:/exports /mnt/nfs/media-server nfs defaults,x-gvfs-show 0 0

Will that work with NFS? I have no idea.

You could also add a Bookmark to the /mnt/nfs/media-server folder.

That worked. Thank you very much! "media-server" now appears under "Network" -- perfect!

Code: Select all

media:/exports /mnt/nfs/media-server  nfs      defaults,x-gvfs-show    0       0
