How to see NFS on Debian Wheezy

Hi guys!
OK! I have done this so far...
Added smb/cfs shares which work well and I get access in Windows. I have a Debian Server and have added my home network to "workgroup" I can now see the shares in Debian...

I can open the shares without being asked for password which I setup for my user in openmediavault....? I can't, however, copy from them to Debian computer?

I thought I'd need to add nfs shares to get it to work....

I have now added all disks to nfs and made them read/write and added the specific client that I want to have access....

When I check network in Debian it shows the Windows Network and then my other computers on the network....I can't copy from the drives I have shared both as smb/cfs and nfs....?

Do I need to change some settings in Debian to make this work? I haven't changed anymore settings for samba on the Debian server....

Hi tekkbebe!
OK I created a user for my smb/cfs shares and set a password for those shares...On my windows computer I have to add my passport each time I start the server (haven't asked windows to save password)....

On the Debian computer ....Before changing the smb.conf I could see the Windows Network and open the shares without the password being needed - but couldn't copy what I needed to my server...the shares are public..

When I changed the smb.conf on the Debian server I then could see the Windows Network and all other computers on that network...sorry let me explain that better....

Firstly I could see the Windows Network and when I clicked on that I could see the rest of my home network - but now I can see the Icon for Windows Network and beside that all the other computers on the network...weird...still can't copy....?

Hi again!
In a two Words yes/no......lol
My storage computer has openmediavault installed on it....

I have created shares and a user and can access these files via the windows machine...

BUT

I can see my storage computer on the Debian server because they are on the same home network...but I can't copy files from the storage computer to my Debian server...?

Why is Debian opening the storage computer without password?

PS Even though I can open the shares it says "permissions of bla, bla, bla couldn't be determined"

Hi guys!
OK! I will go with the shares as smb at the moment and get back to you in a moment...

Hi guys!
Now I am fedup....!! I have recently setup raid5 wih four disks on the Debian computer and it decided to resync them now on restart....!! It is going to run for a few hours on 8tb, so I will report later.... :shock:

Hi guys!
I don't understand....resync ran its course and everything was ok....I cheked the disks individually....no problems.
I restart the computer and the raid fails again and resync starts again?
Does anyone have any idea what it could be
If it was a failing disk - I should see a fault; but no fault is showing on any disk?

I have found the problem....two of my drives are WD and don't have TLER, so they are causing the failed Array...can't afford to change them, so I will have to think of something else...

Hi davidh2k :cry:

I hope not...haven't found a problem but will test again....

Thanks for the heads up on that!

Hi again!
Well, I have 2x2TB Black and they are OK! I have 2x2TB Green and they are coming up OK?

I have read a lot on this now and there is a contention that TYLER or lack of it is the problem even if disks are healthy...?

OK! I can't waste much more time on this but am wondering if there is a solution to storage for images created by clonezila (not an openmediavault specific question - but more of a Linux one).

Clonezilla Server edition automatically saves images created in "/home/partimag" and I could mount the raid5 Array with lvm to "/home/partimag" - but if I can't get the raid5 setup to work properly is there another way of linking drives to one directory?

I don't want just lvm because I don't have any security for drive failure...

When you setup Clonezilla you choose your image destination directory...don't want to run setup over and over again when a hard drive is full - pointing to another drive...then you have the problem of reinstating images...

That is the only reason for the raid5 in the first place, so that I could allocate all the space to "/home/partimag".....

Hi again!
Yes I understand what you are saying but extensive tests are showing no problems....usually I get errors showing in Linux disk utility ...but this is different test Equipment...plus WD's own and no errors...

I can't replace disks just for the sake of it....
