In this example we create the “test” NFS share on a QNAP NAS from CLI and export it to client_ip_01 and client_ip_02. Things to keep in mind: this only creates an NFS share – not a Samba share. To create a Samba share, look at the “/sbin/addshare” command.Determine the mountpoint for your data volume:

[~] # df -h | grep share
/dev/mapper/cachedev1    12.7T     11.2T      1.5T  88% /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA1

SSH to the QNAP as admin user (QNAP does not have a root account).

Add the new NFS share to nfssetting:

vi /etc/config/nfssetting

# ADD:

[Access]
/share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/test = TRUE
[AllowIP]
/share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/test = <client_ip_01>,<client_ip_02>
[Permission]
/share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/test = rw,rw
SquashOption]
/share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/movies = no_root_squash,no_root_squash
[AnonUID]
/share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/movies = 65534,65534
[AnonGID]
/share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/movies = 65534,65534

Update /etc/exports

/sbin/gen_exports > /etc/exports
/usr/sbin/exportfs -r 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null
# OR
/etc/init.d/nfs restart

Check that the new export has been configured:

grep test /etc/exports

Confirm that QNAP NFS server is accessible from client:

/usr/sbin/showmount -e <qnap_ip>

Optional steps for initial NFS configuration:

Enable NFS services at boot time:

setcfg NFS Enable True

Re-/start NFS server:

/etc/init.d/nfs restart
