Unable to mount NFS share from a qnap nas
wellsi:
The backup panel says "This requires that you provide a writable share (cifs or nfs)" so clearly there is a bug, either in the text or in the missing functionality. I'll follow-up in the bug report.
Michail Pappas:
Although the bug will be eventually worked upon, in the meantime would someone be kind enough and provide information in what exactly I should do, after I install nfs-utils, in order to mount a remote NFS system? Should some config take place? Have some daemons automatically start up perhaps?
Looking for some clean/complete steps to throw in a shell and have NFS client working like a charm. Any help will be appreciated
wellsi:
There is a wiki page on this, although I have not verified it myself.
http://wiki.contribs.org/NFS
that looks a very simple 5 step process
Michail Pappas:
The problem is that the wiki article includes steps not needed for my case: I do not need to turn my SME box to a server, no need to install smeserver-nfs at all.
So the steps are definitely different.

This is just a standard mount.
One thing to beware is the problem of matching UIDs & GIDs

--- Quote ---"NFS passes the numeric value for both gid and uid, the simplest solution is to have the gid and uid mappings consistent on all machines sharing the nfs mount."

I had all sorts of fun & games trying to match them from my Xubuntu client to the server so be careful......
