[mythtv-users] Mounting DVDs via NFS problem

[Piers Kittel]

Geoff,

Heh... there's already a symlink.  Thought you already knew as have 
emailed on the mailing list, but I've found the problem was mounting the 
DVD as UDF - NFS doens't support exporting UDF filesystems.  Mounting it 
as ISO9660 fixed the problem.

Thanks *so* much for your help tho, it was brilliant!

Cheers - Piers
