NFS enable on ReadyNas Duo v2?

Hi

Is NFS enabled on this model? I am attempting to setup a NFS share on my PH A-110. Does this model support it?

Not clear in searches?

Thanks

    The Duo v2 and NV+ v2 don't currently support NFS.

    However if you are comfortable with the command line you can enable it: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11599502

    You can enable SSH access by installing this add-on: http://www.readynas.com/download/addons/arm/5.3/EnableRootSSH_1.0-arm.bin

    With the EnableRootSSH add-on, you can now remote login to the ReadyNAS RAIDiator shell as a root user. Initial password for root will be the same as the current FrontView admin password. Please keep in mind that NETGEAR may deny support if you’ve enabled root access.


    Username is 'root' not 'admin' and password should be set by default to your admin password.

    On Mac or Linux use the Terminal. In Mac OS X this is found under Applications > Utilities Terminal

    ssh root@ip.address.of.nas


    On Windows, download the free PuTTy app and use that to connect.

    You can simply change the 'root' password though:

    MDGM-NAS:~# passwd
    Enter new UNIX password:
    Retype new UNIX password:
    passwd: password updated successfully
  • It's a pity not to have NFS on this new version. A regression...
  • I have just returned a ReadyNas Duo V2 to the supplier as it did not have two facilities that were essential to us: rsync and NFS. We already had a Duo (V1) and had of course assumed that there would not be fewer features on a Duo V2. Luckily the supplier refunded immediately when I told him what had happened.
    Now happily using a Synology DS212j box!

  • Check out the 5.3.5 firmware released yesterday, it has a lot of new protocol support.
