Hi everyone, registered here just to share my Over Engineered workaround, but its working for me
Requirements
SSH access to the box
Docker (install via package center)
Not Working/Untested
Auto copy
Instructions / Steps
Follow the guide to get the scripts installed on https://github.com/luckylz2git/exfat-synology
Install Docker
ssh into the box
Elevate to root (su)
sudo su
Create a docker network
docker network create exfat_nfs_share --subnet 172.31.15.0/24 --gateway 172.31.15.1
Obtain the NFS Server docker image
docker image pull itsthenetwork/nfs-server-alpine:latest
Run the docker container
docker run -d --net exfat_nfs_share --ip 172.31.15.100 --name exfat_nfs --privileged -v /volume1/usbexfat/usbshare1:/nfsshare -e READ_ONLY -e SHARED_DIRECTORY=/nfsshare itsthenetwork/nfs-server-alpine:latest
You can close the ssh session now
Login to DSM
Open File Station
Click in Tools > Mount Remote Folder > NFS Shared Folder
Fill the dialog with the follow values and click mount
Field
Value
Folder
172.31.15.100:/
Version
v4 <= THIS IS MANDATORY
Transport
TCP
Mount To
Click Browse > usbexfat > Create folder "nfs_usbshare1" > Select "nfs_usbshare_1" > Click OK
Mount Automatically
on Startup
Checked
After mounting there will be a new folder, nfs_usbshare1, under Remote Folder on the left sidebar.
This can be used to copy files from the exfat drive into any folder in DSM via the WebUI, I believe that it might also be possible to modify the existing scripts to have a sync running
Regarding the fact that we're running another nfs server and if you're concerned about security, the container is running nfs on a isolated network visible only to the DSM host and containers running on the same network, it SHOULD NOT interfere with DSM NFS shares / Server
Note: The new share/mountpoint will be READ ONLY as a preventive measure
Note 2: Wrote this from the top of my head, I might have forgot one or two steps, happy to help if required
