I used to use WD MyBook and MyCloud NAS devices, and while it offered NFS access, it's normal way for you to use it was for everything to get dumped into in an all-user location, owned by root on the disk drive, with access restrictions (mis)handled through the networking file system. It seemed the same hairbrained scheme for SMB. If you SSHd in and set up your own directories, it could work like NFS normally did on Linux. Mind you, after any reboot or power outage, I'd have to SSH in and chown my parent directory back to me from root. I'd disabled most of their shovelware, to make thing less painful. But my last delve into removing the crud managed to brick it. So... I'd avoid those kind of devices. If you have a network of PCs, it might be easiest to dedicate one of them as your fileserver, and roll-your-own. Keep a separate drive for the OS from all your data, that makes upgrading the OS easier and safer (just unplug your data drive beforehand). This is what I've done for a several years (a Linux server). -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.45.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Oct 13 17:20:51 UTC 2021 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
