Reply To: NFS Mount Issues

[same]

Hi doozy,

Had the same issue and found a post in this forum with a script made by erdnuesse member, I modified it a bit for my needs and here it goes:

Just after the #!/bin/bash in /usr/bin/emulationstation:

# Thx erdnuesse
# Set retry to the number of times you want the loop to repeat
RETRY=20

# As long as we have retries left...
if [ `mount -l -t nfs | wc -l` -eq 0 ]; then 
    while [ $RETRY -gt 0 ]; do
        # This will become true if 'ping' gets a response
        # Modify the following IP with your server address
        if ping -c 1 -W 1 192.168.1.7 > /dev/null ; then
	    echo "Mounting NFS Shares..."
            sudo mount -a -t nfs
	    RETRY=0
        else
            # Wait for 1 second 
            sleep 1
            RETRY=$((RETRY - 1))
            if [ $RETRY -eq 0 ]; then
                echo "[ERROR] NFS Failed to mount: server sent no response to ping."
            fi
        fi
    done
else
    echo "Note: NFS Shares already mounted."
fi

Hope it helps !
