EMC White Paper: NFS settings for Final Cut Pro X
EMC is a large storage manufacturer used to supplying hardware for corporate use. They sold over $23bn of hardware, software and services in 2013.
In August 2013 a PDF indicated that Final Cut Pro X was ‘under consideration’ when it came to whether they would produce a Mac application for use with their MXF server product.
Looks like they are warming towards Final Cut.
There’s a short white paper on the EMC China website:
With Final Cut Pro 10.1 Apple introduced a new and more flexible project management model based on Libraries
There is one critical modification to the OS X NFS configuration that’s necessary in order for FCP X to recognise the share as a valid mount for a Library. The NFS mount has to be configured to only use local locks.
The PDF says that a file named nfs.conf file in the /etc directory on the client Mac needs to have the following contents:
nfs.client.mount.options=nfssvers=3,tcp,async,locallocks,rw,rdirplus,rsize=65536,wsize=65536
nfs.client.allow_async=1
