NFS Sharing


Sharing a folder via NFS

Syneto Storage uses both NFSv3 and NFSv4 stacks to support folders sharing via NFS. To view the hosts allowed to access a folder in NFS go to Data management -> Folders / Virtual Disks, select the folder from the tree view and then navigate to the ‘NFS share’ tab. 

You can also view all the folders that allow sharing in the Sharing / NFS shares menu section. To allow access to a host for accessing the folder via NFS click the “Allow new host” button.

 

Hostname represents the ip or hostname that will access the share. Access type can be Read/Write or Read-Only. By enabling root access you will allow the user connecting to that share to control it as user root.

NFS sharing can be globally enabled/disabled from the Sharing -> NFS shares section. See the image below.
