Access a NFS Share from Another Linux Box

Two obvious options that come to mind:

What kind of NAS is it that you can't install Pertino directly on it?
If (1) isn't possible, why do a double mount when you could do a TCP/IP hairpin?

You've mentioned a TCP/IP hairpin before but can you explain it again?
It's a consumer-grade NAS. Works fine for my needs overall, but I can't install Pertino on it. Seagate GoFlex Home are the NASes. 2TB each.

Hairpinning is sending network traffic backout the same interface it came in on. I assume he means setup the Linux box to so some simple routing between Pertino and the NAS.

Ok, that'd be doable, but are there any good walkthroughs for this?

No Idea. I've only ever done it on cisco devices. @scottalanmiller hopefully knows.

If I have to setup the hairpin on CentOS, that's fine too. I'm not picky, as long as it works.

This is going to take some work. NFS is tricky and finding the right syntax for this is tough as no one every does this. But try this...

ssh -fN -L "2049:servername:2049" servername

Basically I need to setup a bridge between the local interface, eth0, and pertino0 on what used to be my jump server. I'm working to upgrade my Pertino licensing as I'm currently maxed out. However, this is one of those times it sucks working on the east coast starting at 7AM when Pertino is in California...

Anyways, if I bridge these two interfaces, would that work?

Thanks,

Really? their web portal won't let you purchase more licenses on the fly?

I haven't exactly purchased anything at this point...

As usual, he is using a free service and complaining because he can't abuse it and do whatever he wants.

Well I guess that depends - If the plan is to call Pertino and beg for additional free licenses, then maybe. But if his plan is to call them and request assistance upgrading his account to a paid one with more licenses then no..

JaredBusch

@Dashrender o with the former.

I already sent @Josh an email requesting to move up to the paid plan.

Oh shut up @JaredBusch. I'm not abusing it. I was given the licenses I was and I am grateful for that. However, my need has outgrown that and now it's time to move up into the paid. I don't have an issue with that. However, if I can get something for free instead of paying for it, I will not apologize for that.

Why do you need to send an email. You can upgrade in the account online without the need to contact anyone.

Because I've already talked to Josh about it in the past, and he'd told me to reach out to him.

That's what people I know who are on welfare say....

Some people who are on welfare deserve to be. Many don't but don't tear down those who have a legitimate right to it because of those who don't.

No one deserves to be on it. it's it's only an opportunity for them to get back on their feet. No one is entitled to get free money. You might say they deserve to get a better paying job so they don't need to be on it.
