Your choice of NFS is the issue here. I use SMB (with one or two shares where I remap UIDs and masks), and it has worked well for nearly 15 years across Linux, Mac and Windows clients.

  Are you sure? To me it came off as factual. They very simply stated that NFS was the issue.

  FWIW I didn't sense any disrespect, although I can see what you read it that way. I'm guessing you saw "your choice ... was the problem", whereas I see "... NFS was the problem".

    Deleting those first three words would eliminate the unnecessary ad hominem.

      It wasn’t meant as an ad hominem, but as a complete sentence. Sometimes I think HN commenters are overly sensitive and think others are “out to get them” - and other times I’m 200% sure of it. :)

  But it’s not the preferred protocol for the reasons explained - that’s the lesson you can learn here.

    Someone using Linux preferred to connect to their Synology using NFS and went through some troubleshooting to make it work. Aren’t you interested what NFS might have in store when cross-platform is not an issue?

I believe I tried both and had issues with SMB too. I found it all very frustrating. I bought a nice NAS. I bought a bunch of drives. I hooked it up and I expected I would be loading on files quickly. But it took all evening to get anything working. I tried SMB and NFS and I recall NFS was easier to get connected, but then I had the permissions issue, which took another couple of days to sort out. I just did not find it plug and play. It took a lot of messing with it. And I am a relatively experienced linux user!
