Check out this page for some info on mounting NFS on Linux. Also shows how to create the proper 'fstab' to make it persistent. http://www.tldp.org/LDP/nag2/x-087-2-nfs.mountd.html

The Synology does provide NFS and, in fact, in my initial setup with the DiskStation Manager utility I enabled both SMB and NFS. Now the question is how to mount it with NFS instead of SMB. I scoured the DiskStation Manager Help and didn't find a word about how to mount the share with NFS, just lots of stuff about setting permissions. I suppose that is because mount commands probably vary from OS to OS. This is the command that mounts it with SMB: sudo mount.cifs //synology.local/synology/ /media/jjj/Synology/ --verbose -o user=jjj I assume I have to change either 'mount.cifs' or '//synology.local/synology/. So far Google hasn't been much help. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
