Dear All,
I've just installed TrueNAS on my microserver (home usage) and now I'd like to setup a NFS share. I have to Linux PCs that will connect to the NAS via NFS and I would like to restrict the access to the NFS only to those two machines. While doing so I came up with some questions I'd like to clarify before I continue:
Thanks in advance for your support,

I've just installed TrueNAS on my microserver (home usage) and now I'd like to setup a NFS share. I have to Linux PCs that will connect to the NAS via NFS and I would like to restrict the access to the NFS only to those two machines. While doing so I came up with some questions I'd like to clarify before I continue:
- Storage>Pools>Add Dataset>Advanced Options: which should be the "ACL mode" ?
- Accounts>Users
- Shall I define a user to be assigned as the owner of the NFS share?
- Do I need more than one user?
- Shall the user(s) be assigned to "Maproot User" or "Mapall User"?
- Which is the importance of creating users/group for home usage?
- Accounts>Groups
- Shall I define a group to be assigned to the NFS share?
- In case I need more than one user shall I add them to the same group?
- Shall the group be assigned to "Maproot Group" or "Mapall Group"?
- I would like to simplify the mounting process so that it doesn't require a password to mount the NFS share
- is it enough to filter the access via "Sharing>NFS>Add>Advanced Options>Hosts" and enter the IP addresses of the two PCs + authorising only the local network (e.g. 192.168.1.0/24)?
Thanks in advance for your support,
