Howto mount an external path in Readynas Pro?

Hello,

I am a Linux newbie, so please, be gentle!
I have an application running on my Readynas Pro (Sabnzbd) that I would like to give write access to a drive on another NAS (Unraid) accessible through the same LAN at 1 Gbps and using SMB. I can also use NFS.
So how can I mount that drive as a local path on the Readynas?
And also how can I make that persistent but nonetheless prevent the Readynas to be stuck upon start up if that path was not available (Unraid down)?

Thank you

  • You would have to enable SSH access to your NAS and mount the 2nd device via the commandline - you could then create a script to automate this at boot up

    Thanks. Can you help me a bit further?
    I have enabled SSH on the Unraid and checked that I can access it using SSH via Putty at port 22.
    I can also browse to the right folder in the Unraid which is /mnt/user0/Downloads/complete.
    I also have SSH running on the Readynas Pro.
    I used mkdir /mnt/UnraidNas on the Readynas
    then
    mount /Novanas2/mnt/user0/Downloads/complete /mnt/UnraidNas

    But it does not work.
    Obviously this is not the right command.
    Any idea?

    Thanks
