SOLVED Sharing FreeNAS Files w/ Ubuntu in VM

[nello]

I need to share a FreeNAS directory containing CrashPlan backups with the CrashPlan application running in a iohyve/bhyve VM.

I tried to using an NFS share but can't get it to work.

I see that FreeNAS supports the following file sharing protocols:

• Apple (AFP)
• Unix (NFS)
• WebDAV
• Windows (CIFS)
• Block (iSCSI)

Is any of these protocols more appropriate than the others for sharing with a Ubuntu client in a VM?

NFS is the appropriate way to share the system. Looking at your other thread, it looks like a permissions issue. I've got some comments for you there.

I would make it a priority to get NFS working, because that's the "right" way to do what you're trying to do.

Thank you for your reply and confirming that I should use NFS.

Unfortunately, I don't see a comment from you on my thread:
