ReadyNAS Duo v1. & PC-BSD - will they talk to each other?
I'm thinking of moving from Linux to PC-BSD, so I need to know whether the two systems are compatible? I have an OS/X machine that runs Radiator so I only need network support (via NFS I guess). Ha...
What I had read about accessing Ext3 journalled & particularly the Ext4 filesystems had me somewhat concerned (ignorance!). I have set up a machine running PC-BSD (FreeBSD) & getting access to the Duo v1. was as simple as adding much the same lines I used in my Linux /etc/fstab to the PC-BSD /etc/fstab like so:
[edit:] The above /mnt/NAS-media & such directories had to be created also. /edit
The other thing was to add a line into the /etc/rc.conf like so:
That was it! Now they talk sweetly to each other.
Hopefully this little thread will help ease someone else's concerns about whether changing to the BSD operating system will be a deal breaker. Its NOT. :D
10.10.0.1:/media /mnt/NAS-media nfs rw,noatime 0 0
10.10.0.1:/media-2 /mnt/NAS-media-2 nfs rw,noatime 0 0
10.10.0.1:/backup /mnt/NAS-backup nfs rw,noatime 0 0
[edit:] The above /mnt/NAS-media & such directories had to be created also. /edit
The other thing was to add a line into the /etc/rc.conf like so:
# Enable NFS Client
nfs_client_enable="YES"
That was it! Now they talk sweetly to each other.
