Accessing from NFS Clients
8.6 Accessing from NFS Clients
The security control of the NAS system for NFS clients follows the
traditional UNIX-style trust-host mechanism and UID/GID
checking. Follow the steps below to enable NFS support and
export the volume for NFS clients to mount.
1.
Enable the UNIX/Linux Network support (the NFS
protocol).
Open the administration page and enter the
Network UNIX/Linux menu. Check the Enable
UNIX/Linux Network check-box and click Apply .
2. Go to the Security Account UNIX/Linux Host page and
add the hosts that might be trusted to access the NAS
system.
3. Export the volume to NFS clients.
Go to the Security File/Folder menu. Find the volume01
entry and click Create in the Sharing column (or Modify if
the volume has been shared). On the Property page,
check the UNIX/Linux Network (NFS) check-box and click
Apply .
4. Enter the UNIX/Linux Setting tab. Add NFS clients to the
privileged host list. And assign UID, GID and permission
octets to the exported volume.
After the volume is exported, use one of the NFS clients in the
privileged host list to mount the volume. Please login as the
root and use the following command to mount
volume01
under the / mnt directory.
mount 192.168.170.172:/volume01 /mnt
Once mounted, the
/mnt directory will link to volume01 and
inherit the same UID, GID and permission as you specify in the
configuration steps. The users on the NFS client with proper
access rights will be able to access the
/mnt directory and
hence the NAS system.
