thany Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I can't find an option for this anywhere, and plowing through the forums only leads to far more complex scenarios. What I want is quite simple as far as I see it: I have a Synology NAS that is able to act as an NFS server. My unRAID server runs a docker that can download stuff unattended, which is great, but uses a lot of storage over time. So I'd like it to write that stuff to my NAS via NFS, instead of to a local disk. Then, I should be able to assign the output dir of that docker to the NFS mount point, and be a slightly happier person TLDR: I'm looking for way to have unRAID maintain NFS mount points to another machine. How can I do that? Quote Link to comment
unevent Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 unRAID is typically considered a/the NAS so by default I don't believe uNRAID by itself can do what you ask via the GUI. Look into the unassigned devices plugin, I believe it should allow you to do what you want. Quote Link to comment
1812 Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 mount the nfs share via unassigned devices assign the path to the docker find the path in the docker and set the destination there Quote Link to comment
thany Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 Brilliant, got it to work. Works a lot smoother than I expected too (since I didn't understand how to get straight linux to mount these NFS volumes). So incomplete files are now kept on my unraid box, and when complete, they get moved to my much more massive NAS. Just the why I like. Makes sense to me. Thanks for the suggestion to install "unassigned devices". That's my friend from now on A bit oddly named for what it does for me, but as long as it works. Quote Link to comment
