What are some best practices in mounting NAS shares that you all follow?
Currently I am mounting using fstab to my user’s home directory with full rwx permissions, but that feels wrong.
I’ve read to use the mnt directory or the media directory but opinions differ.
My main concern is I want to protect against inadvertently deleting the contents of the NAS with an errant rm command. And yes I have backups of my NAS too.
Edit: this is a home NAS with 1 user on this Linux PC (the other clients being windows and Mac systems)
Would love to hear everyone’s philosophy! Thanks!
main thing to note is that NFS is an object based storage (acts like a share) where iSCSI is block based (acts like a disk). You’d really only use iSCSI for things like VM disks, 1:1 storage, etc. For home use cases unless you’re selfhosting (and probably even then) you’re likely gonna be better off with NFS.
if you were to do iSCSI I would recommend its own VLAN. NFS technically should be isolated too, but I currently run NFS over my main VLAN, so do what ya gotta do
