Here, we can see a previously created NAS blank volume. First, we need to make sure the permissions interoperability is set to UNIX. Next, we need to right click on NFS exports and create a new export. Selecting our UNIX style NAS volume. It is considered a best practice to store the data in a folder within the NAS volume. Refresh the gooey to display the new export.
The access list for a newly created export will have a single entry. This entry will allow all clients to connect to the export but will block the root user from making changes. In standard NFS terminology. This is known as root squash to set ownership and initial permission to the export. We will need to allow root to have access.
It is best practice to create a new access list entry. In order to allow a single client to access the export as root to allow root to make modifications to the export. We change the trusted users to everybody. Now from our Linux terminal, we can use the show mount command to display our newly created export.
Next, we create a folder on our client that we will mount the export to once created, we will then mount the export. In this version, we will use NFS version three. Note that NFS version four requires additional configuration of identity services on the client. Next, we can verify that the export is properly mounted by using the mount command.
Finally, we will set the permissions of the newly mounted export to the appropriate user and group.
