[Tutorial] Enable NFS from Unicorn (Lacie firmware)

[minosh]

This Tutorial covers how to enable Lacie firmware NFS via unicorn and share "OpenShare" folder.
* Requires root
* Do at your own risk (as usual)

1- Check current NFS configs

Code: Select all

unicli -l --module=unicorn.sharing.nfs

2- Allow public share "OpenShare" only

Code: Select all

unicli -e --module=unicorn.sharing.nfs public_shares_only:True

3- Enable NFS at unicorn level

Code: Select all

unicli -e --module=unicorn.sharing.nfs enabled:True

4- Confirm changes are set

Code: Select all

unicli -l --module=unicorn.sharing.nfs

5- Start NFS service

Code: Select all

ngc --start nfs

At this point NFS shall be working as expected.

6- Add NFS service to start at boot time

Code: Select all

echo -e "nfs" >> /etc/initng/runlevel/default.runlevel

To access NFS shares from another linux box, you can mount as following:

mkdir NS2_OpenShare
mount -t nfs networkspace2.local:/shares/OpenShare NS2_OpenShare

In mount command replace "networkspace2.local" with your own NS2 IP or name which is resolvable from the other box.

NB.
- If you do not perform step 2, all users files will be available publicly with no authentication.
- If you want to customize any other settings, you have to disable and enable again NFS, to force unicorn to rebuild /etc/exports (step 3)
- If you rebuild unicorn DB, you will have to run steps (2, 3 & 5) again.
