Shares can be created to provide NFS and/or CIFS access to a NAS Volume.
Multiple Shares can be created for a single volume to provide varying security or different access for separate sets of users.
From the Cloud Dashboard, select NAS from the left menu.
Select Volumes from the left menu.
Select NFS Shares from the left menu.
Select New from the left menu.
Enter a Name for the New NFS Share (required).
Enter a Share Path (or leave blank to share the entire volume).
Enter a Description for the Share (optional).
The Allow Everyone checkbox can be selected to allow all Hosts
Specify one or more Allowed Hosts to grant access only from particular machines. Hosts can be specified by IP address or FQDN; wildcards can be used to allow entire domains, example: *.companyabc.com.
Optionally, a Filesystem ID can be specified.
Select desired Data Access from the dropdown list (Read Only or Read and Write).
Select User/Group Squashing option
- No Squashing (default)
- Squash Root
- Squash All
User/Root Squashing is a security feature that denies special access rights based on UID of the user on the client machine; e.g. user id on the client (connecting) computer does not dictate permissions on the share.
