FCPX NFS tuning

[Simon Blackledge]

Unmount NFS and mount via AFP
***WAIT – unmount NFS ? Do you mean DISMOUNT the Promise that you mounted with NFS, and remount it with AFP ? Then the libraries will dismount. Or did you drag the libraries from the Promise onto the local desktop, so you don’t care anymore ?

Nope. With the Promise mounted only over AFP reopen FCPX. The libraries on Promise still open if they were left open.

ReOpen FCP-X ( libraries still open )
*** – so you remounted with AFP. When you SAVE, it is saving to the libraries that are currently on your desktop (because if you mount with AFP, you can’t write back to the Promise via AFP when running FCP-X) – please explain.

There is no SAVE in FCP-X ?

Hi Simon,
Please, can you elaborate why do you do the “workaround” of quiting and tricking FCPX changing the mount type (NFS to AFP)?
I’ve made some previous tests with NFS and didn’t had a problem. Did you?

No real issue with NFS.
The rest of the guys here use that.

I use SMB as that gives me the best speeds to the server as I’m connected over 10 Gig.

I see, so why the trick to quit and reopen?
Just to use NFS to open libraries and since it’s not fast enough (for you, on your server) you trick quiting and reopening once mounted as AFP or SMB?
Is that right?
Thanks,
