NFS Client Help

Mon Mar 18, 2024 11:38 pm

Everyone seems excited that ROSE storage will allow you to use your MikroTik as a very basic NAS. This is nice, but I want to use it the other way. Many new models are coming out without USB and I'd like to run Dude, which is recommended to run on external storage so as not to wear out the internal memory.

I've got a Synolgoy NAS that can share out disk space as NFS that I'd like to mount on my MikroTik. I know I've got my Synoloy set up correctly because other systems have no issues connecting to the shares. How do I connect to the NFS share with my MikroTik and use the storage space? I'm finding a lack of instructions and tutorials on how to make this happen. The documentation eludes to this being possible, but I can't seem to make it work.

Please help.

Hello!

I hope the following example is understandable, this is how it worked for me...
/disk/add type=nfs slot="Mounted_DIR_NAME" nfs-address="NAS_IP" nfs-share="Exported_DIR_NAME"
Sorry for my poor English, I'm using a translator!

Greetings Slys!

I tried this with a Synology NAS but could not get things working.
/disk/add type=nfs slot=externaldisk nfs-address=192.168.7.20 nfs-share=volume2/routeros_data
Failed to mount.

Also tried with
nfs-share=/volume2/routeros_data
but same problem.

Please help.

Same here, never could ROSE NFS work on my Synology NAS, while I only use NFS at home with all my Linux boxes etc.
Got various errors, including "unknown error" :)
SMB works immediately....
