From NAS-4220

Features of the NFS-server

I personally have not yet bought the NAS-4220, because I want to use it with various OS's, like Linux, ..., OS/2. Especially OS/2 is very sensitive and demands a full featured NFS-Server. So I tried to find out from somebody whether this applies to the 4220. Got help from here:

[1]

and had to find that the NFS-server is missing the 'statd' to allow clients to query information (about file locking ...). Output from command 'rpcinfo -p <IP or hostname of NAS>':

   program vers proto   port
   100000    2   tcp    111  portmapper
   100000    2   udp    111  portmapper
   100003    2   udp   2049  nfs
   100003    3   udp   2049  nfs
   100003    2   tcp   2049  nfs
   100003    3   tcp   2049  nfs
   100021    1   udp   1024  nlockmgr
   100021    3   udp   1024  nlockmgr
   100021    4   udp   1024  nlockmgr
   100021    1   tcp   4893  nlockmgr
   100021    3   tcp   4893  nlockmgr
   100021    4   tcp   4893  nlockmgr
   100005    1   udp    962  mountd
   100005    1   tcp    965  mountd
   100005    2   udp    962  mountd
   100005    2   tcp    965  mountd
   100005    3   udp    962  mountd
   100005    3   tcp    965  mountd

So in fact OS/2 as a client will not mount. Missing daemons are these:

   100024    1   udp  32770  status
   100024    1   tcp  42977  status

Hopefully this will be fixed in a future firmware version.
