Create or change the NFS share

First of all edit your shared folder. Control PanelShared FolderEditNFS PermissionsCreate (or Edit).

path to the settings as mentioned above

Setting Value
Hostname or IP 192.168.10.100 (actual IP)
Privilege Read/Write
Squash Map all users to admin
Security sys

Change the user and group ids in /etc/exports

Now login to the NAS with SSH and open the file /etc/exports as the user root.

The file should look similar to this one:

/volume1/video	192.168.10.100(rw,async,no_wdelay,crossmnt,insecure,all_squash,insecure_locks,sec=sys,anonuid=1026,anongid=100)

I have the following users on my NAS:

uid=1024(admin) gid=100(users) groups=100(users),101(administrators)
uid=1026(dominic) gid=100(users) groups=100(users),101(administrators),1000(nfs-dominic)
uid=1000(nfs-dominic) gid=1000(nfs-dominic) groups=1000(nfs-dominic)

Change the parts anonuid=1026,anongid=100 to your needs.

I do have a personal folder that I change to anonuid=1000,anongid=1000 but I leave others (like video) that use anonuid=1026,anongid=100 (because I want the internal user on the NAS to use them too).

Restart NFS Service on your NAS

Whenever you finished your changes to that file, save it and go back to the control panel on the web interface.

Control PanelFile ServicesNFS.

  1. Disable NFS service, click Apply.
  2. Enable NFS service, click Apply.

Adopt your client

Edit your fstab file. Mine looks like this:

nas.lan:/volume1/video  /home/dominic/_nas/video  nfs  noauto,users,nodev,async,soft,_netdev,x-systemd.device-timeout=1,x-systemd-idle-timeout=1min,x-systemd.mount-timeout=10,timeo=10,retry=3  0  0
