Disclaimer: ID mapping without a Kerberos server only works halfway with NFSv4, it seems. I
managed to get the correct usernames to show up on my client when listing files, but creating new
files always creates them as user nobody because the Synology doesn't map anything in that case.
This bug report and the linked thread suggest this is normal behaviour of idmapd when
not using Kerberos for some reason. (EDIT: More detailed explanation.)
However, what I did:
First, you have to enable idmapping after loading the NFS service. For that, you have to edit the
file /usr/syno/etc/rc.sysv/S83nfsd.sh on the Synology. Find the line
SYNOLoadModules $KERNELMODULE
and add the following line after that:
echo "N" > /sys/module/nfsd/parameters/nfs4_disable_idmapping
Then, still on the Synology, edit the /etc/idmap.conf and set the Domain to your ITET-PHO if
not already set. Disable NFS, apply and re-enable (+apply) it afterwards in the Synology's control
centre to reload nfds.
On your client machine, create a file /etc/modprobe.d/nfs-idmap.conf with the following contents:
options nfs nfs4_disable_idmapping=0
options nfsd nfs4_disable_idmapping=0
Reload the nfs kernel module afterwards to apply the options.
Also make sure, idmapd is running on your client. (On Ubuntu artful, I had to run
sudo systemctl start nfs-idmapd manually, I think.) And, of course, use nfsvers=4 as a mount
option.
(On the Synology, you can killall idmapd and run it in foreground using idmapd -f -vvv to see
if it's doing anything.)
