NFS Home directories
Hi,
I've searched these forums for a couple of days now but can't find an answer. Apologies if this is a duplicate.
ReadyNAS Duo V2
RAIDiator 5.3.7
I have been able to add NFS shares and mount them in Linux but I cant figure out how to mount user private home directories. There doesnt seem to be an export for home directories:
I have seen in other forum posts that there are options to share NFS home directories under the Security / Users option but don't seem to have that with the Duo V2.
Any help would be appreciated.
(Should also add that home directories can be accessed using samba)

- Just in case anyone else is having the same problem, here is the response from support:
The home directory is mapped to its own location on the drive under /c/home and is
accessible via CIFS only. Hence why the feature is configured under settings.
Typically used by windows users to create home shares.
2 Options that you can do are:
1. Submit a feature request to mount via NFS the /home location. A better solution
would be create another share and mount via NFS as root and then create home
directories for your users so it can mounted via NFS.
2. If you are comfortable, you can access the NAS via SSH and configure the NFS mount
point file yourself.
Seems wrong when there's already options in the frontend code:
// <select id="user_home_nfs_support">
var selectObj3 = document.getElementById('user_home_nfs_support');
var options3 = selectObj3.options;
prefix = 'ITEM_COMMON_ENABLED_';
var option3_text_array = new Array (S[prefix+'YES'], S[prefix+'NO']);
var option3_value_array = new Array ('enabled', 'disabled');
for ( var ix = 0; ix < option3_value_array.length; ix++ )
{
options3[ix] = new Option();
options3[ix].text = option3_text_array[ix];
options3[ix].value = option3_value_array[ix];
}
Think Synology is a better option for me in the long run..
