Comment on Any chance to get a mounted NFS folder show up in Synology Drive (Virtual DSM) ?

I fully admit I’m not the most talented linux person, but you say that you created an smb share on Unraid, but you mounted it as if it were an NFS share. Is that just a typo, or could that be the root of your problem? I could imagine Synology Drive not letting you interact with files in the mounted folder if the permissions and ownership weren’t set up right.

Regarding the SMB-share, let my try to clarify. Let’s say you have 3 machines. 192.168.1.10/20/30. On machine 10 a folder
synologywhich has a network folder mounted onto it from machine 20mount -t nfs 192.168.1.20:/some/folder synology.Now you want to access that folder on machine 30. Here you can’t use
mount -t nfsbut MUST usemount -t cifsinstead, because you cannot forward a mounted share. However, this is not the problem, it’s just a description of my current setup.Regarding the ownership. Your point is very valid, but I ruled that out already. I did a so-called bind-mount within Synology with the exact user permissions as in the users home folder, but this didn’t work. FYI: a bind-mount is where you have two folders
/foo(with many sub-folders and files) and/bar (empty). If you domount --bind /foo /bar, then the system thinks that bar is a real folder with the subfolders and files (from foo, including their permissions).RotaryKeyboard@lemmy.sdf.org 7 months ago
Thank you for going to the extra trouble to explain this! This is why I love communities like this.
