(Network File System) protocol. A Linux user can mount the shared folders on your NAS in

the way he mounts his local folders.

. Configure the following settings:
NFS Server: Select Enable.
Allowed Host: Key in the IP address of an NFS client.
Folder: Select the folder that you want to share with the NFS client.
Root Squash: Select Root Squash or No Root Squash.

. Click Start NFS.
4. Repeat steps  ~  to add more NFS clients.
5. Click Apply to save the new settings.

NOTE:

Selecting No Root Squash allows a remote root user to have full privileges on the NFS

server.
