Gosh, guys.

I figured out my permissions a bit more. The NAS NFS *is working, and serving files to users thru the BBS box. I didn't have the owner set to root, and when I did that, other users were given their correct accesses - I don't wanna get into that deeply; I KNOW I need to learn a lot more about permissions. Its really confusing.

Ok... so now I have the NFS working, and need to make sure the two drives are always mounted @ /mnt/Backup6TB /mnt/Backup4TB... Ok... so I have a mountroms.sh that works fine... The directories are already there, when I run mountroms.sh they populate. I could create a Mystic event that runs that every hour; who cares about the extra commands when its already mounted... Eh. Thats kinda ugly...

So, I edited my /etc/fstab and put in:
10.0.0.131:/export/Backup4TB /mnt/Backup4TB nfs defaults 0 0 10.0.0.131:/export/Backup6TB /mnt/Backup6TB nfs defaults 0 0

Reboot; mount points aren't populated. I read that nfs's don't LOVE the fstab because their network drives and don't connect fast enough. Remember, My NAS [for NOW, anyway. :P] is on a Pi... so its the most sucky one you could have.

Anyway, I learn of autofs... install autofs, modify auto.master to include:
/- /etc/auto.Backup4TB -nosuid,noowners
/- /etc/auto.Backup6TB -nosuid,noowners

and edit /etc/auto.Backup4TB/6TB like this:
/mnt/Backup4TB -fstyle=nfs,user,nolock,nosuid,rw 10.0.0.x:/export/Backup4TB

.... and restart autofs....

Now the /mnt/Backup4TB / other say 'filesystem isn't there'.../error out.

So... question; how would you make sure this NFS is mounted for the BBS box always? I can just run a mountroms.sh - but think that sucks.... I wish fstab just worked, and am ok with autofs as a solution, IF it worked - am I forgetting some THINGS that I should look at .... with either fstab OR autofs?

Thanks guys... I *did* get the permissions ironed out - just wish I understood more about why. :/

And I'm about to get some actual server hardware- feeling like I'm not ready to be that sysOp... :/

Thanks for any help at all.

Thanks for that, mL... it IS an nfs4. (umount -t nfs... works, tho.)

ALSO, freaking... so what I *changed* was... I had the owner of the /share as 'paulie420' or 'pi'... changed that to root, and gave users 'paulie420' and 'pi' ACCESS - which fixed things;

then noticed ONE area on another share that STILL wasn't allowing d/l's - so tried to reset all sub-directories to the same permissions... and it 'fixed' it... but it almost seems like... shit man - like issues continue to pop up w/o


























































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































interaction from me. (I know I just don't quite know everything I need to yet.)

ONE more thought I have is... I've shared the ENTIRE drives. Meaning that I start the shares on the / folder... instead of like... /myshare ... and the aquota.user and aquota.group files LIVE in that / directory - maybe I shouldn't

just need to keep researching ... NAS/NFS's, PERMISSIONS and [possibly] OPENMEDIAVAULT.
