Cannot mount external SSD as NFS with Pi4

So I'm trying to use an 512 SSD (USB3) as storage for my CCTV as storage as NFS. Not sure if it is a bad idea or not, and also I'm kind of stuck. Read through the "mount network share", but cannot solve the problem. As the local drive should be used, but getting "Operation not supported", when i try "What=192.168.100.40:/var/media/Hikvision"

First of all, LibreELEC has no onboard NFS server. There is only a SMB server available.

Perhaps you can construct a NFS server somehow via a Docker setup.

Forget about using LE as an NFS server not possible even with docker.

It is possible to use LE as an SSH/SFTP and SAMBA server but in a limited way because it only supports one client user account. However with the help of docker drakkan/sftpgo it is possible to implement multiple client user accounts and permissions in SSH/SFTP/FTP/WebDAV server services. I know this works on x86_64 but I don't know if it works on ARM RPi processors.

It's not impossible to add an NFS server, but it does require some developer skills and buliding a custom image. Have a look at the commits in escalade RetroELEC GitHub repo for more details.
