SMB Share, NFS Share and Active Directory
I just recently picked up an RNDP6000 chasis and have it loaded up with 6 3TB drives. Wonderfull its up and running. I created a share on the volume and thats fine. I then went ahead and setup Act...
You should use the Netgear admin interface to set up shares, not drop to the background and do it via SSH.
But before you go any farther, I strongly suggest you look into updating the Pro to OS6. It's not officially supported by Netgear, but neither is a used NAS. While OS6 is getting quite long in the tooth itself these days, OS4.2.x is even more so. You can find lots of posts here about updating a legacy NAS to OS6. Just choose a newer one. The oldest one with a couple hundred messages is really too old, it refers to OS versions that are quite old with problems that have been resolved, and it points to files no longer available.
OS6, all the way up to the current version, is very stable on a Pro as long as you have at least 2GB of RAM. If your Pro is an older one (-100 part number), then a processor upgrade will do a lot to speed it up, too.
Scratch the NFS idea, use an SMB mount also from your Linux system using the AD authentication.
