NFS Media setup howto
---------------------
Its not possible to configure a NFS mount in dgs application as DGS do not support NFS,
but in background this is handled so do not worry about choosing CIFS setup in mount manager.
the line in your /var/mount_manager_fstab should look similar to this.
cifs /mnt/nfs 10.1.12.100 /var/nfsmediashare dexter dexter NLBshare Disconnected
IMPORTANT: current release has one requirement "rule".. part of NFS sharelocation needs to include nfsmediashare ,
so your share can be /media/nfsmediashare or /movies/nfsmediashare or similar.... just remember to include that name in share.
after you configured this, you also need to enable in webif, and choose IP9000 -> Change NFS/HDD media.
you can edit the file and reboot box or you can configure in dgs application, but do not press "connect",
it will not work like this.
After you enabled it in webif, and configured the line in your mount manager, you can reboot and at next
boot you got /media mounted from your NFS server.
For this wondering why CIFS is not supported, its because CIFS do not support directio and also speed of CIFS
is worse than NFS.

- Removing the usb pen, will cause box to boot flash image.
- USB pen should be formatted in webif, before use
- other USB pen cannot be used/formatted in webif, when you are running multiboot.
