Permission to 'root' in my Linux box to NFS mount share?
How do I give permission to 'root' in my Linux box to NFS mount ReadyNAS shares?
After some travails, I am very confident, accessing my new ReadyNAS from Windows.
My next step is to mount the 'Backup' share in my Linux server (which would be a client). On the Linux side, only root can perform the 'mount' command.
This is the error message:
# mount: drake:/Backup failed, reason given by server: Permission denied
Using my regular (non-root) username and password, I can ftp and see all the shares and files.
TIA

- add sudo to the start of the command

Tried it, but I keep on getting the same error message:
mount: drake:/Backup failed, reason given by server: Permission denied
I added the following settings, also:

I tried read/write and read-only.
The mount command worked perfectly with my older ReadyNAS.- Try mounting data/Backup.

I tried it. Still fails. Always the same error message.- Eureka.. I mounted the NFS filesystem !!
But I am not telling how... :-)
Okay, since you fellows have been so nice and helpful, here it goes.
The RAID 10 volume that I created is named "Trinidad". That name must not be used from Windows, but it must be used from Unix:
# mount drake:/Trinidad/Backup /mnt/drake
The syntax makes sense, since it allows for multiple volumes, each with multiple shares.
