Hi Pete,
"Please don't top post on this list."
OK...
"And you learn the lesson of "don't do anything as root that doesn't
need it"
Yes, absolutely !
"It would be preferential to use an NFS mount. But that has issues as
well - file locking across NFS is an issue and performance/reliability
depends to a large extent on the server side. I don't know what the
underlying OS is on the synology NAS, but it would be worth investigating".
I tried to share via NFS today, but I had another issue here :
- user => access denied (permissions)
- root (just to test) => no problem
It seems this behavior is because the computer and the NAS have
different uid and gid.
Tomorrow, I will modify values on the NAS, I hope it will fix.
"My general advice would be "don't do it". So, why are you wanting to
put your Evo storage on a network filesystem? If it's purely for
storage, then get yourself a bigger disk! "
It's for "transparent backup"; I am working without I need to backup
manually :
- All data (I mean for all applications, including Evo) are stored on
the NAS.
- Data are automatically backup on the NAS every night (multiples RAID)
- Plus backup on external support every month.
"If it's for backup, then I think the synology boxes can do SMTP & IMAP
- use those to manage your mail, life will be saner!"
Yes Synology supports SMTP, IMAP, etc..., but how to access to the files
? I will check how it works ans if there any good Linux client.
Regards.
Karim
