NFS was pretty straight forward to set up here. I turned it back to ALLOW and all is well again (sigh).įor using XBMC from remote machines or devices to access my server running Mavericks, I've found NFS to be superior in that I don't have to turn off Apple's own SMB2 and replace it with SMBUp any longer (Samba 3's features are behind SMB2's features as Samba4 supposedly achieves parity with SMB2) and I no longer get "share unavailable" with NFS that I got with Samba while my media hard drive was waking from sleep. AFP still works normally (although my other Mac will not switch to AFP automatically when accessing my server it says it cannot find it I have to manually enter AFP://Address to get it to connect.Īnyone have any idea what setting up NFS could have screwed up? Could NFSManager have changed a file or something?ĮDIT: Well, it appears something along the way entered a new entry into my OSX firewall setting that told it to BLOCK all SMBD activity. So I have no idea why things cannot access those shares or what setting up NFS could possibly have done to screw up SMB. "SMBUtil view" in a shell with my network shows the SMB shares are set up correctly and apparently running. No uninstalling, re-enabling or rebooting makes any difference. The problem is now when I try to access an SMB share, whether from XBMC (using SMBUp, which I did try re-installing) or another Mac using either SMBUp or Apple's own SMB2, it just says it can't connect. NFS now works a treat and XBMC can use it just fine. com.blah blah file and add an /etc/exports file with the setup option for my Media drive. I simply had to add the "-N" option to the. ![]() In any case, I removed the configuration in it, quit and set it up manually which was pretty easy, after all. ![]() I used NFSManager, but I could NOT get it to work (after reading some more I think there were two things about certain ports I had to unselect, but maybe not since some said it's broken for Mavericks). So the solution seemed to be to set up NFS instead for XBMC. Seeing as I have to keep running SMBUp to use Samba3 instead of Apple's SMB2 in order to use XBMC on my AppleTV units, but that then doesn't let me use Apple's SMB2 with other Macs, etc.
