Creating or Editing an NFS Export

You can control access to the NAS server data by creating NFS exports for

UNIX clients. A host allow list lets you limit which client machines are allowed

access to the NAS server, regardless of the user.
To create or edit an NFS export:

1

In the Command View NAS web interface, click the Storage tab.

2

Navigate down the tree to File Volumes, then select Shares/Exports.

3

Select the file volume where you want to create the share/export by

clicking the row.

4

Select Actions > Create New NFS Export (if you want to edit an export,

select Edit Selected NFS Export).

5

Enter the Mount Name.

6

Select either Read Only or Read/Write.

7

If you wish, you can create a host allow list by clicking Advanced and

following the steps below. If not, click OK.

To create a host allow list:

1

Click Allow Selected Hosts. The default is Allow All Hosts and this gives

any machine access to the NFS export.

2

In the Hostname/IP Address field, enter the hostname or IP address of the

machine you want to allow access from, then press Enter. Repeat this step

for all machines that you would like to give access to. Wildcard (*)

characters are accepted.

3

Click OK.

Deleting a Share or Export

1

In the Command View NAS web interface, click the Storage tab.

3

In the table, highlight the share/export you want to delete.

4

Select Actions > Delete Selected SMB Share or Delete Selected NFS

Export.

5

Click OK to delete the share or export.
