ReadyNAS OS 6.8 allows configuring NFS User ID mapping per NFS share. This functionality ensures NFS connections use a predefined UID/GID when necessary, which prevents permission based issues on certain applications.
Configuring User ID Mapping
- From the Admin Page, click Shares > Shares.
- Click the share you would like to edit, then click Settings.
- Click Network Access > NFS > Advanced.
There are three UID/GID squashing settings:
- No Root Squash: Allows NFS connection using root access to connect as root. (Anonymous UID/GID text boxes are disabled)
- Root Squashing: Forces all NFS root users to use UID/GID configured in the Anonymous UID/GID text boxes.
- All Squash: Forces all NFS users to use UID/GID configured in the Anonymous UID/GID text boxes.
