no_root_squash in 6.9.3

Hi

In https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS/quot-no-root-squash-quot-option/td-p/635050 which is from 2009, it is being told that you cannot add no_root_squash for the /home share.  Is that still the case?  I need it (and yes, I do know the consequences!), and I just manually edited /etc/exports, but after a reboot, my edit was gone.  

Do I really have to come up with a workaround that does it automatically for me at reboot?

    Hi bengsig

     

    Currently no_root_squash is not supported to be enabled on the Home shares and I there's no workaround but It would be better to post it on the Ideas exchange board as a feature request, getting Kudos from other Community members will certainly help the team to implement this.

     

    Hope this helps!

      Well, you can just modify /etc/exports when logged in as root; the problem is that I don't know if that might get overwritten if I later use the console to add/modify shares.

        Hi bengsig

         

        You might want to try that way but since they already mentioned that it's on their to-do list already, Hopefully it will be included on the coming updates for ReadyNAS OS6. :)
