KVMD 3.206: NFS storage for virtual media	2023-03-21	kvmd-3-206-nfs-storage-for-virtual-media	This is a performance update that affects the mouse events protocol	Releases	mdevaev	PiKVM https://pikvm.org Discord https://discord.gg/bpmXfz5 uStreamer release https://github.com/pikvm/kvmd/releases/tag/v3.206	true

Now you can create NFS share for a common images storage for your PiKVMs fleet. The images will be available on all devices.

Here is the documentation for the new feature: https://docs.pikvm.org/msd/#nfs-storage

This release also comes with Mass Storage Device API (/api/msd and and WebSocket event msd_state) changes required for NFS support:

• Removed the features field. The flags in it don't make sense since we dropped relay msd a year ago (does anyone even know what it is?)
• Removed the storage.free and storage.size fields. Instead, use storage.parts[""].free and storage.parts[""].size. The new mechanism provides MSD placement on several local/NFS partitions at the same time. "" means the default partition.
• Removed the storage.images[...].name field. Use the object key instead.

For those who use only Web UI or VNC, nothing changes.

To update:

rw
pacman -Syu
reboot
