NFS app - expanded capability
Posted: Mon Oct 23, 2017 2:29 pm
I just installed the NFS app, primarily to use NFS to access Amahi share(s). Upon installation, there is a new share defined, "Nfsexports", which is exported as an NFS share. This seems to work well. However, I would like to expand the NFS environment to include other Amahi shares that are already defined.
Would there be any problems created by adding one of the existing Amahi shares, say "Music" to the NFS exports file ("/etc/exports") allowing read/write access to it via NFS? Or another alternative would be defining a new Amahi share and including it in the /etc/exports file for NFS access as well as access as a normal Amahi share?
Any risks involved?
If not, perhaps an interesting enhancement to the NFS app would be to provide a GUI that would add/delete entries in the /etc/exports file, maybe as part of the Amahi shares definition GUI. This would simplify the process, and provide more security against typos in the file.
Thanks in advance!
