NFS File Sharing
On the Protocols page, click the switch to turn on NFS (Network File System) to allow remote hosts
to mount file systems over a network and interact with them as though they were mounted locally to
your Iomega StorCenter px12-400r.
Note: Select an option to choose how users on client computers are mapped to the px12-400r:

To have all users, including root, map as guest, select Treat client users as guest (all_squash) .
All files are owned by user guest, and all users accessing the px12-400r have the same access
rights. If you have enabled Active Directory on your px12-400r, only this option is available for
mapping client computers.

To have all users map as themselves but root maps as guest, select Allow full access for client
users other than root (root_squash) .

To have all users map as themselves, including root, select Allow all client users full access .
Once enabled, add NFS access rules for each secure Share from the Managing Shares page. NFS
provides another protocol for sharing storage data with Linux hosts. When NFS is enabled, you can
configure rules for host-based access to secure Shares.
Rules can be added to secure Shares to specify the hosts that are allowed to access Shares using
NFS. For example, *.cs.foo.com matches all hosts in the domain cs.foo.com. To export a Share to all
hosts on an IP address or local network simultaneously, specify an IP address and netmask pair as
address/netmask where the netmask can be in dotted-decimal format, or as a contiguous mask
length. For example, either /255.255.252.0 or /22 will result in identical local networks.
