The Network File System is a function, similar to that of the Windows’ network folder, which allows for one or multiple client computers to share a server’s storage device connected by the network. The LG NAS Network File System function supports only the NFS server function and allows for multiple client computers to share the NFS directory’s data (read/write or read) set up in LG NAS through the network.
- Network File System Setting
- [Default NFS Directory Setting]
- Without the administrator setting up a separate NFS directory, the default NFS directory is automatically created when activating the NFS server and allows for all hosts to read/write when connected to the LG NAS network.
- ① Click Enable.
- ② Click on the Apply button.
- ③ Click on the “OK” button of the pop-up window that says, “NFS directory does not exist. Do you wish to use the default NFS directory?”
- [User Defined NFS Directory Setting]
- The LG NAS Network File System function allows the administrator to have folders created through the shared/folder menu or new folders set up as NFS directories. Using this function, the administrator may set up the NFS directory to allow access to only certain clients and only certain users may be able to access folders designated as NFS directories.
- ① Click on the Add button.
- ② Click on the Search the NFS directory button.
- ③ Select a folder created through the folder menu or create an NFS directory folder under a shared folder with limited access.
- ④ Set up authority. (Select authority to read/write or read for client’s access authority)
- ⑤ Set up access permitted client. (To mark the IP address or all hosts, enter “*”.)
- ⑥ Click on the Save button.
- [Delete NFS Directory Setting]
- ① Select the NFS directory to be removed from the NFS directory list.
- ② Click on the Delete button. (Caution: Deleting the NSF directory will not delete the relevant folder from the LG NAS storage device. To delete the relevant folder, use the shared/folder menu.)
