Mounting network NFS/CIFS shares - simmo - 05-26-2016
Has anybody found a way to mount a network share using either NFS or CIFS under Android?
I have a NAS with various shares on which I'd like to make accessible to my Pine64. This would give me far greater storage capacity than an SD Card, plus it makes sharing files between other devices easier. I realise that apps such as ES Explorer can access network shares, however mounting is preferable since it would then mean the data is accessible immediately without having to ES Explorer to upload/download first.
I have Android rooted and I've installed the Termux terminal emulator app. Normally I would be able to use the following mount command but it fails with a "No such device" error:
mount -t nfs [ip address]:/[share] /mnt/nfs
I suspect this is because the kernel does not have NFS or CIFS support, since running "cat /proc/filesystems" does not include either nfs or cifs in the list. Are these available for download as kernel modules somewhere?

Some Filemanager apps have CIFS plugins (if I remember right - "ES file manage" supports SMB servers - but you may have to pay $$$ to get SMB/CIFS)... How I watch movies from Android devices... Haven't yet found an NFS client for Android that "works"...
