This is a guide on how to enable the NFS capabilities of the Synology product.
This procedure is aimed for users who are experienced with Telnet and the Linux Operating System
Please note that improper manipulation or modification of the Synology server may result in machine malfunction or loss of data.

Acquire Files
Please make sure that the Synology product has firmware 2.0.3 - 0518 or above, along with the Telnet service enabled.
Both files can be found here.
Instructions for the NFS Server
Telnet into the Synology product and perform the following
Enabling Service
cd /usr/syno/etc/rc.d mv S83nfsd.sh.sample S83****.sh reboot (or /usr/syno/etc/rc.d/S83****.sh start) vi /etc/exports

After saving the exports file, perform the following
cd / /usr/sbin/exportfs -a
Instructions for NFS Client
On your NFS client, perform the following to mount the NFS Server share
mount IP.of.NFS.Server:/directory/to/export /volume1/local/share/folder
Note: /volume1/local/share/folder must exist locally, otherwise the mount will fail
