How-To

SSH

  • Enable SSH service
  • To have root access, log in as user root, and use same password as admin account.

NFS

  • Enabled NFS service
  • Edited NFS privilege for share volume1/backup, allow rw, for client minimoy

Then from NFS client, tried

$ sudo mkdir -p /net/mnemosyne/backup
$ sudo mount mnemosyne:/volume1/backup /net/mnemosyne/backup
mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting mnemosyne:/volume1/backup

Looking into NAS file /var/log/messages (need to ssh as root on the NAS), there is the line:

... refused mount request from HOST00245402988d.HELL for /volume1/backup (/): no export entry

So it seems that the connection is refused because the DNS name of the NFS client does not match the export line in file /etc/exports

/volume1/backup minimoy.HELL(rw,no_wdelay,no_root_squash,insecure_locks,anonuid=0,anongid=0)
