Settings -> Remote -> (NFS|SMB) on a Sinology NAS

aqua-calc

Hello,

I'm having a problem configuring NFS and SMB since I've moved my NAS from ReadyNAS to Synology.

Did anyone succeed to configure a "New file system remote" as NFS or SMB on a Synology NAS?

Thank you.

Hi,

Sadly, "having a problem" is not enough so we can try to help you. Can you provide more details?

I can confirm that a Synology works well as a backup "Remote" but as @olivierlambert said more details are needed to help.

We're using a Synology RS815 as a backup target over NFS in our lab and its working great.
If you're able to provide more details @aqua-calc it'll be easier for us to help you out.

@aqua-calc Did you check the NFS authorization in the Synology NFS share folders properties (allowed networks)? But that is just guessing and more information or the error message is needed.

aqua-calc

@gskger Yes, we did. As a matter of fact,the same NFS is mounted as "NFS virtual disk storage" via XCP-NG control center, with no problems.

We're trying to move away from our own backup script to use XO scheduled backups.

@aqua-calc What error message do you get when trying to connect the remote to the Synology NFS share? Like others, I am also using a Synology (RS818plus) as a NFS storage and backup target without any issues.

same NFS is mounted

It is probably dumb to ask: you are not trying to connect the same NFS share on the Synology as storage and backup target?

Edit: did not see your post

Hi @aqua-calc !

Are you on XOA or XO from sources ?

aqua-calc

@AtaxyaNetwork XO from sources

@gskger I've tried both -- the same result:

@aqua-calc The problem is fixed. The XO server was missing NFS utils:

sudo apt install nfs-common

Thank you everyone for responding!

Thanks for sharing the solution!

nfs-common

I think it's installed in XOA we distribute. If it doesn't, there's a bug somewhere in our way to build it. Can you double check you have this package on a fresh deployed XOA?

@olivierlambert He's running XO from sources.

@olivierlambert I think that was probably related to my question if he tried to

connect the same NFS share on the Synology as storage and backup target
