Mountpoint on Desktop

[wp.rauchholz]

I setup nfs service on my server. Working ok. I setup nfs also on my client and I access the share on the server (CLI ot using Files).
(https://www.howtoforge.com/nfs-server-a ... n-centos-7)
Using Tweak Tool, I set the parameter that Shared Volumes should be shown on the Desktop.
But this does not happen.

df -kh lists:
[wp.rauchholz@localhost ~]$ df -kh
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/cl-root 50G 5.2G 45G 11% /
devtmpfs 3.8G 0 3.8G 0% /dev

tmpfs 771M 40K 771M 1% /run/user/1000


Any idea what I am missing?

Uh, mount is at ~/Desktop (although why that would be a good thing, heaven knows).

[jlehtone]

the parameter that Shared Volumes should be shown on the Desktop.

No idea what those are. Perhaps something mounted via GUI?

@aks: at Desktop?

Code: Select all

10.5.2.1:/home/wp.rauchholz  1.9T  763G  1.2T  40% /mnt/nfs/wp.rauchholz
10.5.2.1:/home/media         1.9T  763G  1.2T  40% /mnt/nfs/media

This one tells other details than disk usage:

Code: Select all

findmnt -au

You have probably mounted by hand or by /etc/fstab under /mnt/nfs.
Not automounts, I presume?
(Personally, I prefer autofs, for it delays the actual mount to time of need and umounts unused volumes. Hard dependencies to network and servers can become restrictive.)

Since you have the mounts, you can create symlinks to them on your Desktop. (Perhaps the "show shared" automates that for some volumes?)

Thank you jlehtone. I was not aware of autofs.
Using this now and works like a charm.

Thanks again, Wolfgang
