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 Active Directory Authentication within the authentication settings.  I set the share up for SMB and it works fine with my user.  I now want to mount it to my ubuntu server using NFS.  I'm having no luck.  

 

I have created a directory within the mnt folder.  The directory in question here is the Suburban_Paranormal.

drwxr-xr-x 1 jarvis jarvis    0 Feb  4 01:11 GDrive
drwxr-xr-x 2 jarvis root   4096 Feb  4 00:02 Suburban_Paranormal

Here is the line within my /etc/fstab

UUID=UID / ext4 defaults 0 0
/swap.img       none    swap    sw      0       0
10.1.1.15:/RN/Suburban_Paranormal /mnt/Suburban_Paranormal nfs defaults 0 0

When it mounts runnin sudo mount -a, it will mount and shows like the following 

jarvis@jarvis:/mnt$ sudo mount -a
jarvis@jarvis:/mnt$ ls -l
total 0
drwxr-xr-x  1 jarvis jarvis  0 Feb  4 01:11 GDrive
drwxrwxr-x+ 1  33268  33281 34 Feb  4 00:00 Suburban_Paranormal

the user and group are set to what I believe is the uid and gid from the active directory.  I did run a getfacl on the folder and I see the following.

jarvis@jarvis:/mnt$ getfacl Suburban_Paranormal/
# file: Suburban_Paranormal/
# owner: 33268
# group: 33281
user::rwx
user:98:rwx
user:34897:rwx
group::rwx
group:33280:rwx
group:33281:rwx
mask::rwx
other::r-x
default:user::rwx
default:user:98:rwx
default:user:34897:rwx
default:group::rwx
default:group:33280:rwx
default:group:33281:rwx
default:mask::rwx
default:other::r-x

I can go into the folder, see the files there.  However, I can't create any files in the folder.  If I try running just a basic nano and create a text file I get the following. 

[ Directory '.' is not writable ]

It will let me create a file if I do sudo but I would like to not have to use sudo.  What setting am I missing here or is this just not possible?

Re: SMB Share, NFS Share and Active Directory

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.
