Nfs - Buffalo TeraStation Essentials User Manual

Chapter 3 File Sharing
You may also configure access permissions for domain users and groups. You should have the TeraStation join your
Active Directory domain before configuring access permissions from File Explorer.
Notes:
• If enabling subfolders' access restrictions for a USB drive, the drive should be formatted using XFS or ext3.
• The UID and GID of domain accounts should be updated before using the subfolders' access restrictions if the
TeraStation had joined the AD network while running a firmware version earlier than 3.00 (and has since updated
to version 3.00 or later). To update the UID and GID, navigate to File Sharing > SMB > Edit in Settings and click
Update next to the "IDs for Domain Users" option.
• To back up or replicate files to backup or replication destinations while leaving access permissions of files and
folders in subfolders unchanged, make sure the same workgroup name, user IDs, and group IDs are configured
between backup or replication sources and destinations.
• If you enable subfolders' access restrictions and then clear the "Read & execute" checkbox under "Allow" on File
Explorer for users or groups access permissions, these users or groups cannot be allowed to read and execute
even if subfolders' access restrictions are disabled in Settings. If you deny reading and executing on the same
window, this will remain after disabling subfolders' access restrictions.
• If the TeraStation's settings have been initialized but you configure the same UID and GID for new users and
groups, access permissions to files and folders in subfolders may be inherited.

NFS

Note: (US customers only) Buffalo's customer support will help configure the NFS settings on your TeraStation, and
will support VMware and Windows clients but will not provide support for configuring your Linux or other UNIX
clients. There are various types of UNIX and the procedures for configuring NFS with them will vary considerably.
For help configuring your NetWare, Linux, or other UNIX clients for NFS support, please consult each client's own
documentation and support.
