Mount volume
#1
Hi - I have just setup a PI media player for the bed room and I have to say what a great little device it is, the only thing I want to do is mount a volume on boot up, my Nas spins the drives down and when I want to watch a film for example it says the film isn't there and asks if I want to remove from the library when I launch the PI. On my Mac mini I have a script that mounts the drives and then launches xbmc.

What's the best way of managing this on the PI, thank you in advance

There's a special experimental build of XBMC that will run on your Pi and send a wake packet over the network for your NAS: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...pid1375405

Hi ned thank you for the response but my Nas doesn't support WOL, all the need to do is mount the volume if possible.

The command to mount a drive (local or over a lan) is mount

The way to make mount do it's thing on boot is to use /etc/fstab - then it will be mounted on every boot.
