I have a frigate server that connects to my unraid server via NFS share to an unassigned 24x7 cctv drive device on unraid.

Somehow, my /etc/exports is being reverted back to a status of not including the frigate share.

# See exports(5) for a description.
# This file contains a list of all directories exported to other computers.
# It is used by rpc.nfsd and rpc.mountd.

"/mnt/user/fcshare" -fsid=100,async,no_subtree_check 192.168.1.187(rw,secure)

This is the base version of /etc/exports. After a reboot, and all the time, this is what it reads. Now, the fcshare was entered by me at SOME point, for a filecloud demo. And it saved persistently. I'm trying to replace it with:

/mnt/disks/frigate 192.168.1.187(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)

I can add it manually and save, and it will save. And my NFS share will have access to connect.

But if I restart the machine, the array, or even RANDOMLY, it reverts back to the fcshare version. Which makes no sense to me. I don't have ANY scripting that reverts the exports file. Though I DID try creating a script that adds the line back on array start.

 

Through googling, it appears as though /etc/exports doesn't persist. Though I did make it happen at SOME point, because I can't seem to get rid of the fcshare export.

 

Can someone point me in the right direction here? It's driving me bonkers.

You are using UD to mount that disk.  Go to the unassigned devices settings and enter your rule there.  UD will then apply it to the exports file.

Sorry, not sure what exactly you mean.

 

I'm supposed to put something here?

No, here:

 

Go to Settings->Unassigned Devices.

Ahhh ok. What specifically should I have there? Just as you have?
The line I keep adding to my /etc/exports is:

/mnt/disks/frigate 192.168.1.187(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)

This is your rule.  IP address and options.

Got it! Thank you so much!
