I have had my cameras recording to my Synology NAS via NFS in the past but i went a different route but i am now trying to get it to work again.

I have created 2 partitions on a USB external gard drive and attached it to my Synology NAS
I have created NFS shares one for each partition (each partition is acting like a share folder)

On the camera under storage/NAS i have entred the server address 182.168.1.NAS and the file path \volumeUSB2\usbshare2-1
Saved, highlighted the entry and hit test all is ok.

Under the Storage management tab
The HD appeared
I clicked the check box and hit format
I confirm to format
progress goes to complete immediately
It does not format and the Status remains Uninitialized

Please help guys

There's some sort of size limit, not sure what it is, but maybe the partitions you created are too large.

Hi Network

I just cracked it and then come back to report on it, you are correct there is a size limit my partitions were too small, i was testing on a 120GB drive and has all partitions on about 30gb. I deleted all and created 1 partition and it worked

Thanks heaps for your response
