NFS (Unix) Access

NFS (Unix) access to the server is enabled on the Network > NFS page of the Web
Management Interface. By default, NFS access is enabled and any NFS client can access
the SnapServer through the guest account.
NOTE: Only NFSv2 and v3 are enabled by default. If you wish to enable NFSv4, select the
NFS client access to shares can be specified by navigating to the Security > Shares page and
clicking the NFS Access link next to the share. Because you are in Unicode mode, you must
configure the SnapServer's protocol for the code page being used.

Support for NFS

Consider the following technical information when configuring access for your NFS clients.
Assigning Share Access to NFS Users
The NFS protocol does not support user-level access control, but rather supports host- and
subnet-based access control. On a standard Unix server, this is configured in an "exports"
file. On SnapServers, the exports for each share are configured on the NFS Access page
independently of user-based share access for other protocols.
Supported Protocols
SnapServers support these versions of the NFS protocol:
