NFS mount libuuid user
Hi, i've had this issue a few times, on some machines and not others.
After mounting one of my shares using "mount -t nfs" the mount location's permissions seem totally messed up.
0 drwxrwx--T+ 1 libuuid libuuid 72 Feb 27 2015 readynas
Why is this, i am unable to access the share.
Something doesn't feel right. I used to be able to connect via NFS no problem at all, from multiple boxes including a linux sat box and android box.
I'm going to backup everything and factory reset, i fear its the only solution, and hopefully this fixes things.

Hi Brian,
I've always mounted as per the link you provided, getting it mounted it not the issue, the issue is with permissions and the folder being owned by libuuid user. Is this some conflict between the user id of the NAS unix user and the local unix user?
If i chown the whole folder and files things are ok, but this isn't ideal. When mounting an NFS who should own the files/folders ?
Normally you match the UID and GID across your systems. At least the UID/GID of the owner of the share on the NAS.
