to connect my Lubuntu laptop as a Network File System (NFS) Client
via three shell commands.</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym18_1_1459248879677_4070">First, I changed directory to my home directory and created a nfs
directory in there:<br id="yui_3_16_0_ym18_1_1459248879677_4071">
$ cd $HOME<br id="yui_3_16_0_ym18_1_1459248879677_4072">
$ mkdir nfs</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym18_1_1459248879677_4073">Then I applied the following three shell commands:<br id="yui_3_16_0_ym18_1_1459248879677_4074">
$ sudo
apt-get install nfs-common<br id="yui_3_16_0_ym18_1_1459248879677_4075">
$ showmount -e <br id="yui_3_16_0_ym18_1_1459248879677_4076">
$ sudo mount -o
soft,intr,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 192.168.1.132:/nfs /home/</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym18_1_1459248879677_4077">If you cd into nfs you’ll be accessing the WD My Cloud device.
That’s it. I started to copy twenty mp4 files totalling 1.6GB into
the device through 802.11g and it took 8 minutes. I was then
streaming these on my iPad mini.</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym18_1_1459248879677_4078">I hope this helps assure you you can connect to this from Linux. I
know once I finished the plug and play I panicked for a bit thinking
I wouldn’t be able to connect my Linux machines to this device but
now I happily throw everything I have onto this. Also, it has a USB 3
port on the back so I can simply plug another 4TB USB drive on it and
expand it in the future.</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym18_1_1459248879677_4091">John.<br></div><div dir="ltr">
