Unfortunately no one can be told what fun_plug is - you have to see it for yourself.

Need nfs working on my nas. nfs was working fine in firmware version 1.06. When I upgrade to 1.08 it stops working... I have restarted and ensured pormap and unfsd are running - which they are.
./unfsd.sh status
unfsd running as pid 2284
rpc.portmap running as pid 2274
I have downgraded to 1.06 and nfs starts working again.
Is there anything I can do to make fonz's nfs work again?
Any help gratefully appreciated.

I did a fresh install of fun plug on 1.09 beta and everything is working...
re do this step....
1. cd /mnt/HD_a2
rsync -av inreto.de::dns323/fun-plug/0.5/packages .
cd packages
funpkg -i *.tgz
for nfs
On the DNS:
1. Enable unfs
cd /ffp/start
chmod 755 unfsd.sh
2. Restart DNS
On the Linux computer:
1. Install nfs support
sudo apt-get install nfs-common
2. Create mount point
sudo mkdir /media/dns323
3. Edit the fstab
sudo nano /etc/fstab
4. Add a line at the bottom for the DNS to the fstab (make sure to substitute your own DNS-323's IP address!)
for read write use this
192.168.XXX.XXX:/mnt/HD_a2 /media/dns323 nfs rw,auto 0 0
else for read only
192.168.XXX.XXX:/mnt/HD_a2 /media/dns323 nfs ro,auto 0 0
5. Save, exit, then activate the fstab
sudo mount -a
Hope this helps

unfs is part of the fun_plug tarball. No need to download 98MB of packages.
Also, if all you want is a package or two, you can save yourself time by downloading only those packages. For portmap, and unfs, the following is sufficient:
rsync -av inreto.de::dns323/fun-plug/0.5/packages/{unfs,portmap}* .

Newbie2, Fonz, thanks.
I'll explain a little more what has happened.
With 1.06 firmware. (funplug v0.5)
My other 2 linux boxes (one a ubuntu desktop and the other a ubuntu sheevaplug) can connect to the dns 323 with no issues. Using the nfs method described by Newbie.
With 1.08 foirmware
I upgraded the firmware on the dns 323 to 1.08. No changes at all to the desktop or the sheevaplug.
Funplug still worked (or atleast I still had ssh access to the dns 323).
The bit that doesn't work is the nfs mount to the dns. When I perform a sudo mount -a on the sheeva plug it doesn't give any errors. When I cd into the dir I have made for the nfs mount point everything freezes. My shell connection just sits there and doesn't do anything. Just appears to lock. I have rebooted and tried several time. (The same symptoms on my ubuntu desktop)
I have checked unfsd and portmap are still running on the dns 323 and they are.
I have performed a fresh fun_plug install in the dns when the firmware is at 1.08. But still the same symptoms.
If I downgrade to 1.06 my nfs connections start connecting again.
Any ideas?

Not sure, I thought a reinstall of those programs would resolve the issue.
But were not comparing the same versions. It looks like we are using the same setups with dns323 and ubuntu (fstab etc).
only difference is 1.08 vs 1.0901beta, not sure that matters.
I successfully upgraded from 1.07 to dns323_fw_109b01_beta.zip - this is 1.08 with added cloud (offsite) backup over the net.
I also downgraded back to 1.07 then upgraded back to 1.09( long story ) with no apparent issues.
you might want to try the beta and see if we have similar results or at least will know its not firmware related(1.08 vs 1.09). If you try the beta
then we will have a common baseline for reference. I am in the middle a a huge data transfer otherwise I would down grade to 1.08 to see if I see your issue.
if you interested the beta can be found here

another idea is download 1.07 and let see if its still working. it would be interesting to see if 1.07 shows the same issue as the only change in 1.07
was 1. Fix for Deskstar 7K1000.B - Model HDT721010SLA360 Hitachi drives.

Hope that helps.

Hi,
I will that a try. It's just bit of a pain going from 1.08 to 1.06 as all my settings are lost and I have to re-enable funplug. It seems going back to 1.06 disables my root access ssh account.
I will try 1.07 later this weekend. If you get a chance to try 1.08 and it doesn't cause you much hassle would appreciate if you can post if it works ok.
Many thanks!

I did a quick test. After installing 1.08 I could no longer access my remote folders. After upgrading back to 1.0901 beta everything works again.

Any issues with firmware 1.09 beta? Do the harddrives spin down ok? Is it stable enough to use? Did it force you to reformat drives?
- Thanks very much for helping perform this test - you have saved me another hour of messing about!

I didnt need to change anything with downgrading and then upgrading to 1.09beta as it is stated in the forum this 1.09beta is 1.08 plus cloud computing.
I am running Raid1 configuration and was never prompted to format my drives for the upgrade or down grade I preformed.
Good Luck.
