Mount an NFS Share onto Readynas as root?
HI Everyone,
I recently bought a new (non Netgear) NAS. Although I loved my Readynas Duo v1 , It is too under powered for my current needs.
I figure if I can create NFS shares on the new NAS, then mount those shares by ssh'ing as root into my readynas then I could copy the data faster (since its straight from one NAS to the other) and retain file permissions and ownership settings for all files. I will be using the same uuid's on my new NAS.
So my questions is this: I already have sshasroot enabled , so can I mount new shares as NFS mounts on the Duo? If so anything special I need to do to accomplish the above. I assume I will just use cp --archive to keep over the file metadata bits the same.

- Why not just use the backup functions in Frontview - that supports NFS target? (I'm doing this very process myself, albeit from Duo v1 to NV+ v2).
- Darn I should have thought of that!!
Well, I already did the my original idea above (well almost I used cp -r --preserve=mode,ownership,timestamps) and it worked fine. I used the same uid's for my users on the new NAS , but I switched to all files to a new gid using chgrp.
Thanks for the advice nonetheless.
