NFSv4 and external drives
Hello!
I've an interesting problem I do not understand, which have persisted through all of readynas OS 6, now also on 6.6
I'm using NFSv4, which works fine with my setup until I attach USB devices. Somehow attaching a USB drive eats up the NFS shares, and my nfs mounting only gives me the USB drive. Even if NFS is not activated for the drive, it will show up on the NFS share if NFSv4 is activated.
Anyone got any idea what is going on?
Showmount -e nas.local gives:
/run/nfs4/data *
/run/nfs4 *
Without NFS shares activated, and this allows me to mount my USB drives as NFS shares which doesn't have NFS enabled on them.
The problem did exist prior to 6.6, I can not pinpoint when it started to occur. It was regardless of the choice of USB port, (had two drives attached, attaching only one did cause the error). The SMB worked fine, also manually mounting the NFS share instead of NFSv4 worked.
However, I seemd to have found a solution. I turned off all nfs and turned them all back on (and made sure the /etc/exports was empty). Something in the setup most have been wrong since everything seems to be working as intended now, even after reboots.
Sucess!

Hello Tithen,
Did this happen even prior to updating to 6.6.0?
Have you checked if you get the same problem when you use other USB ports of the NAS? How's the SMB access when this happens?

Hello Tithen,
Well, must be something just needed sometime?
It's good to hear it works now.
