I've followed the instructions on the this Synology article to set up NFS access between my Synology NAS and my Linux (KDE Neon) machine.

If I set the hostname to my local IP it works fine... but the trouble is my local IP changes so I'd need to keep updating the NAS permission settings.

If I use my hostname, let's call it my-linux-machine I get the following error:

mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting 192.168.1.11:/volume1/Video

Synology support have advised that:

I've checked the log, and found you've tried to set the client Host name: my-linux-machine as you've mentioned.

For your information, this Host name should be a validate Domain name which can be resolved by your NAS's DNS server.

Thus, you'll need to apply a domain name for your Linux (KDE Neon) machine, and a server name is not able to use directly here.

To verify the domain name, you can check it by "Ping" command to your Linux server from your NAS server.

You may specify a host in three ways:

  • Single host
  • Wildcards: *, *.synology.com
  • Network segment: 203.74.205.32/255.255.255.0, 203.74.205.32/24

Here's where I'm stuck.

Could someone help me understand which of those three options are best suited to my needs?

Single host: sounds like the single IP method, or a FQDN which I'm unsure as to what my 'domain' would be if none of it needs to talk to the world wide web.

Wilcards: also mentions domain names... again, my setup doesn't need to leave my home network.

Network segment: could maybe work? But I'm unsure how to figure what my segment would be.

Thanks in advance!

In principle, you should be able configure the IP using a mask (based on the answer on the Synology forum):

192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0

Hope this helps!
