## Share Mounting
The MiSTer can mount a network share from another computer or server as if it were storage. CIFS and NFS shares are supported. The following helper scripts are provided to simplify this process, if you want to use them download to them to /media/fat/Scripts

For **CIFS** mounting and unmounting.

If certain cores doesn't start when loading games from CIFS share but work OK when loading from SD or USB, check if Kernel Oplocks are enabled on the CIFS share. If they are, either disable them, enable them globally on your Samba server, or move your MiSTer files to a different share exclusively used for MiSTer and without Kernel Oplocks enabled. It is up to you to decide which one fits better your use case: Kernel Oplocks are enabled by default in many NAS for good reason, as this should prevent bad file synchronization, corruption, and data loss when the shared folder is used by different protocols (i.e. CIFS and NFS) or by network clients and software running in the NAS like a torrent client.

## RetroNAS
A project was launched that makes it easier to get a network attached storage (NAS) device up and running which was focused solely on retro gaming device compatibility. The MiSTer was one of their primary focuses and it works quite well. All you need is a Raspberry Pi4 and some kind of external hard drive storage device. Remember: NAS IS NOT BACKUP! You could lose data if you rely solely on a NAS for important data. They have a good [installation guide](https://github.com/danmons/retronas/wiki/Installing-RetroNAS){target=_blank} that is simple to follow and [MiSTer-specific instructions](https://github.com/danmons/retronas/wiki/MiSTer-FPGA){target=_blank} to help get you started. They also have video guides available on Youtube for [installation](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szA-MSabplc){target=_blank} and [MiSTer FPGA-specific configuration](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrTctA-5kqk){target=_blank} if you prefer.

## Static IP Address configuration
Currently the best way to do this is using `connmanctl` (try `connmanctl help` for more info).
