If only I could mount a NFS share Android ...

• Narushia 1y ago
  I looked into this a while ago and was surprised to find that no file explorer on Android seems to support it[1]. However, I did notice that VLC for Android does support it, though unfortunately only NFSv3. I was at least able to watch some videos from the share with it, but it would be nice to have general access to the share on Android. [1] Of course, I didn’t test every single app — there’s a bucketload of them on Google Play and elsewhere…

    Yes ! they are using a a client library for that https://github.com/sahlberg/libnfs https://github.com/sahlberg/libnfs

      Interesting, the readme for that library says that NFSv4 is supported. So that likely means that VLC is doing something wrong on their side, because only NFSv3 works?

  Been a while, but if you root your phone and have access to the kernel source in order to build the NFS modules, would you be able to mount NFS shares then?
  • sunshine-o 1y ago
    Yes, you need a rooted phone since usually support is at the kernel level

      Nice, glad it's still an option
