I'm trying to improve video playback performance on a remote frontend that's<br>
connected over 802.11a (until the driver for the WiFi dongle it's using is<br>
updated to support 802.11n...but that's another matter). Most of what I'm<br>
trying to stream lately has been DVD rips in H.264 that run somewhere around<br>
1-1.5 Mbps; they're served up by a Buffalo LinkStation Quad, which supports SMB<br>
and AFP, but not NFS. With most files, there are frequent pauses during<br>
playback (maybe every 10-30 seconds), which are annoying. Some sources I've<br>
run across suggest that NFS has less protocol overhead and should offer better<br>
streaming quality over WiFi, so I figured I'd give it a shot by reexporting the<br>
shared video from my backend/frontend over NFS.<br>
<br>
/etc/exports has this entry in it:<br>
<br>
/mnt/media <a href="http://192.168.100.0/255.255.255.0(async,no_subtree_check,rw,insecure)" target="_blank">192.168.100.0/255.255.255.0(async,no_subtree_check,rw,insecure)</a><br>
<br>
When I restart NFS, I get this:<br>
<br>
exportfs: Warning: /mnt/media does not support NFS export.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>It's been a while since I've tried, but I was under the impression that NFS will not re-export mounted filesystems.</div>
