I'm running 3 systems that have media drives for my home theater. |
| 8 |
What I did was to mount the local volume on /var/media. Then used |
| 9 |
autofs to mount the nfs shared volumes under /media/auto. Finally I |
| 10 |
symbolically linked each volume to /media. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Abridged example: |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
royw-gentoo: |
| 15 |
/var/media => mounted lvm volume |
| 16 |
/media/auto/xbmc => nfs://xbmc.local/media |
| 17 |
/media/royw-gento => /var/media |
| 18 |
/media/xbmc => /media/auto/xbmc |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
xbmc: |
| 21 |
/var/media => mounted lvm volume |
| 22 |
/media/auto/royw-gentoo => nfs://royw-gentoo.local/media |
| 23 |
/media/xbmc => /var/media |
| 24 |
/media/royw-gentoo => /media/auto/royw-gentoo |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Now on either machine I can reference /media/xbmc or /media/royw-gentoo |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Also each media volume uses the LinuxMCE directory scheme: |
| 29 |
public |
| 30 |
+ data |
| 31 |
++ audio |
| 32 |
++ documents |
| 33 |
++ pictures |
| 34 |
++ videos |
| 35 |
local |
| 36 |

Have fun, |
