Using my ReadyNAS 104 from Linux with NFS
Hello all, Up to now I have used my ReadyNAS 104 (firmware 6.10.0) from Windows. I have now rebuilt one of my machines with Linux Mint 22 and will do the same with my nother machines after I have...

The current teething problem is accessing my NAS from Linux. I had thought that CIFS was the way to do this but have just been told that NFS is the way to go.
CIFS (SMB 1) is very old and being deprecated. SMB 3 is well supported on Linux, so there is no reason not to use it.
But if you want NFS for some reason, you can just enable it in system->settings and for each share. The default settings on the NAS should be fine.
I reset both shares and then went back to the terminal and tried to mount.
sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.1.41:/data/music /media/nas_music
mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting 192.168.1.41:/data/music
So we're still not there yet.
Not sure what to show you next.
Cheers!

Linux file names are case-sensitive, and per your earlier screenshot I think the share name is Music.
The default volume name is lower case, so data is ok.
Oops! Will rectify tomorrow. Thanks again.
EDIT: Couldn't wait till tomorrow, so did it now đ€ŁđđI just changed the case of the two shares. It works fine!!! You are a genuis!
The contents of the shares are showing up in the mountpoints.
I will extend the work done on these to the other shares.
Many thanks!
