[PROBLEM] Moved my music to new NAS but library remains empty

FYI,

If you're using Synology DSM and you really really want to serve your musical tracks via NFS (which as I've expressed elsewhere I really really don't) then try this.

(I don't use Synology gear; I just tried this on the moldering DSM 6.1 I keep around for testing purposes as a guest OS on VirtualBox on one of my Linux boxes)

Control Panel > Shared Folder
 - select the folder of interest and click the Edit button

This opens the Edit Shared Folder <folder name>
- click the Permissions button

This brings up a list of users/permissions
- I give the admin user read/write permissions but you may have different requirements
- click on the NFS Permissions button

This brings up a list of eligible client IP addresses (I just set my whole internal subnet 10.0.0.0/24; YMMV)
- select the line of interest
- click on the Edit button


This brings up the Edit NFS rule box
- (I see privilege is set Read/Write on my server; I don't recall if this was the default setting, but again YMMV)
- set Squash to "Map all users to admin"
- click OK

...or something like that as Tim would say.

You should now be able to mount and scan your NFS share in moOde's music library.

Kent
