[kwlug-disc] remote USB hard drive, via nfs

What flavour of OS are you running on your WL500gP.  Apparently nfs
is/was broken in kamikaze (http://wiki.openwrt.org/NFS).

Maybe try shfs (ssh-fs) instead
http://wiki.openwrt.org/RemoteFileSystemHowTo

If not kamikaze, check that everything is running:

pgrep portmap
pgrep nfs
pgrep mountd

As Paul said, send us you /etc/export on remote so we can all have a look.

Finally, the OpenWRT OS is notoriously single-user out of the box.  To
support multiple users, you really need to roll your own.  Do you have
another Linux box (or course you do!) you can try this nfs programme out on?

Good luck,
Lori
