Sidenote - you can alias 'usbshare1' and 'usbshare2' to better names by just renaming them inside File Station. In the filesystem (via SSH or telnet - but you're not using telnet, right?) it's /volumeUSB1 and /volumeUSB2 - if there's multiple partitions, it uses the /volumeUSB1/usbshare1-1, /volumeUSB1/usbshare1-2 filesystem structure. In the DSM web interface, in the File Station app you see them as "usbshare1" and "usbshare2".

By default, the Synology mounts USB drives using its own scripted methods. I wanted to share some files with a group of users which were in a directory on some USB media. Normally that's acceptable, but if you're sharing files to other users, either via NFS, SMB or FTP, you may wish to use permissions to prevent accidental deletion - and on an exFAT volume, this means you can't.īut we can do read-only access with exFAT! It just requires some creative thinking. One thing exFAT volumes lack when used through the Synology is support for any UNIX file and directory permissions.

tl dr - pay $4 and just get the official exFAT Access package from Synology through the Package Manager, it's zero-hassle and has full read/write support. In this case, given we're probably also dealing with very large files, exFAT is a sensible choice - and the Synology does support exFAT, albeit there's a long story about that.

However, on any external drives connected to the Synology, for example a large USB3 drive for temporary storage of additional material, those drives may use file systems other than EXT4 so they're accessible by, say, Windows PCs.

On the terminal, a plus symbol at the end of an ls directory listing denotes the file or directory has additional ACLs applied, which can overrule standard UNIX permissions. So far, so simple this works great for everything on the NAS' internal storage, because by default it uses EXT4 filesystem which supports file & directory permissions and ACLs. The permissions are inherited, UNIX style, to effectively restrict rights over folders and their files. If you want an additional user for FTP access, you make your user (or make a group then add your user to that) then Allow access to the FTP application inside Control Panel -> Users or Groups. In Control Panel, make sure the Shared Folder is defined, then using File Station, define access permissions (read, write, execute) for each group or user. I recently purchased a Synology NAS running DSM 6, and sharing directories via FTP is easy.

I've revised this article to recommend a better autostart script directory feel free to borrow the simple start/stop script I included at the end of this post. Any other thoughts on why it stopped working? Did Synology stop exFAT support until V7 is released? I know I did not buy the extension when I got it to work previously.Update, December 2019: installing third-party scripts or package managers which run on boot may overwrite the file /etc/rc.local which I initially recommended using. The thing is, this was working fine and I never switched off sharing. I notice in the release notes that "exFAT stabiliy" was improved (I never had an issue, but hey), so did they stop the free support working? That would be insane if they are giving it free with V7.

That is so screwed up I don't even know where to begin. But it then tells me exFAT will be free in DSM V 7. Given exFAT should be supported in a product as expensive as this I find that annoying, but I'm prepared to buy it. I clicked that and I would have to buy it for $3.99. Under File System Type it says "Install exFAT". When I check External Devices on the control panel I see the drive but it says it's.

At the moment I have the drive plugged into my laptop and it's working fine, but I want to get it back as a shared drive on the Synology. It was working fine until recently and then I lost the share. I have a WD My Book connected to my DS415play in one of the rear USB ports.
