NFS server on Synology 101g+
Update
Synology now supports SSH logins and NFS services via a patch and firmware upgrade respectively. You're most probably better off using the officially provided packages and patches instead of the one described on this page.Telnet
First we need to enable telnet access to the box. There is a package that can be installed via the Synology upgrade function. Get syno-telnet-r3.zip from http://oinkzwurgl.org/diskstation and extract enabletelnet.pat. Then, from the web GUI:
Tools - Update -upload enabletelnet.pat
After that you should be able to telnet into the box:
telnet nas1 root/synopass
ipkg
Next is to install the ipkg package management system. See here for a list of available packages.
Copy ds101-bootstrap_0.1-8_powerpc.xsh to /public, then telnet into the NAS:
telnet nas1 (root / synopass)
Bootstrap the ipkg package management system:
nas1> sh ds101-bootstrap_0.1-8_powerpc.xsh

NFS
Once ipkg is installed we can install the required NFS packages. We will need the nfsd.o Kernel module as well as the nfs-utils package. The NFS packages are here.
nas1> ipkg install kernel-modules-nfsd

Successfully terminated.
This installs the Kernel module into /opt/lib/modules/nfsd.o. Load it with:
insmod /opt/lib/modules/nfsd.o
Now install the nfs-utils package:
nas1> ipkg install nfs-utils
Installing nfs-utils (1.0.7-5) to root...
Downloading http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/ds101g/cross/stable/nfs-utils_1.0.7-5_powerpc.ipk
Configuring nfs-utilsTo complete the installation, you must edit /opt/etc/exports,
and then run /opt/etc/init.d/S56nfs-utils to start the nfs server.Successfully terminated.
Add your network to /etc/hosts.allow:
cat <<EOF>>/etc/hosts.allow
rtmap: 192.168.5.0/255.255.255.0
lockd: 192.168.5.0/255.255.255.0
mountd: 192.168.5.0/255.255.255.0
rquoted: 192.168.5.0/255.255.255.0
statd: 192.168.5.0/255.255.255.0
EOF
Now start portmap and the NFS server
/opt/etc/init.d/S55portmap/opt/etc/init.d/S56nfs-utils
You should now be able to mount the shared volume from any box in the 192.168.5.0/24 network.
Add the following line to /etc/fstab on a client machine:
nas1:/volume1/public /mnt/nas1/public nfs rw 0 0
Then create the mount point:
sudo mkdir -p /mnt/nas1/public
and mount the NFS share:
sudo mount /mnt/nas1/public
SSH
Enabling SSH is just as easy. Install openssh package:
ipkg install openssh
And, from a client machine:
ssh admin@nas1

The whole thing worked but, as I've discovered now, there's a little problem: on my ds-106j the boottime increased from 1 to about 7 minutes! Is this supposed to happen?
Or does anyone know what to do against it?

So I downloaded both the .ko already compiled files ans installed them in /lib/modules/ with the others, did an insmod (wich worked fine as lsmod shows both).
But I a still unable to start nfsd : the script does a segmentation fault on exportfs -r...
the only case when it doesn't is when my exports file is empty.
Have you had that problem ?
Note : my firmware is a 514 version.

Hi,
I used the "NFS server on Synology 101g+" guide to setup a nfs server on a DS106e and ran into two problems along the way.
The first is minor: The guide doesn't mention how to configure /opt/etc/exports.
The second is more severe:The nfs server doesn't work after reboot because /opt/lib/modules/nfsd.o isn't being found/loaded.
I added the line "insmod /opt/lib/modules/nfsd.o" to /opt/etc/init.d/S56nfs-utils just above where /opt/sbin/nfsd is started, which solved the problem but isn't very elegant.
Apart from that the "NFS server on Synology 101g+" guide was execellent help in getting an NFS server running on the DS106e. Thanks.
