Hello,,

I have a server with ZM and another server with a big disk in that i use for storage.
I connected via NFS and pointed the events to the NFS directory.
when i stop the ZM server and start it, i can see that the directory is filled with the zm events, the user rights are also okay.

When i want to see an event, it takes forever...
event window where i should see the video is empty, and showing transferring data from x.x.x.x .... and it stays like that.

How does that come for a small event ?
any ideas how i can fix this ?

Or is this not meant to work with nfs and should everything stay on the same server ?

grtz, Ph.

try it mount samba fs

i did but you can't use symlinks with samba and ZM makes symlinks in the events directory.
Or am i wrong ?

Do you have a link to more information about it ?

Command:
chmod 777 /path_katalog

Maybe this will help in gaining access

Hi,

I think you have exactly the same problem I am experiencing. So far, no solution. I have already tried SAMBA, but it did not work too well either.

hello,

that's what i tried, did somebody else tried this anyway (with success)?
Yes, i can make a samba share and i can make a soft link in
/usr/share/zoneminder/events to that share.

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 2009-09-24 14:39 events -> /zm_storage/events/

where zm_storage is my storage on the other (storaga)server.
But, when i start zoneminder, it can't make a symlink in zm_storage (because that is on the other server).
When you try to make a symlink on a samba share you get (for test):

ln: creating symbolic link `./test': Operation not supported

and zoneminder makes a link in the events directory to the events.
ideas ?

zm 1.24.1 + NFS

zm 1.24.1 + NFS

Maybe this

NFS should work!
