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

- sphardy1ApprenticeYou 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 - sphardy1Apprentice
mount -t nfs <source> <dest>
Where source is of the format ip_address:/exported/path
See http://linux.die.net/man/8/mount
