<p>In RAIDiator 4.x or 5.x (previous ReadyNAS OS), you only needed to add the NFS share name in VMware&#8217;s settings. As ReadyNAS OS 6 has a brand new OS and structure, you now need to add the volume name as well. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Note</span>: VMware is case-sensitive, so ensure you use your upper/lowercase appropriately.</p>
<p>To find the volume name, go to the System Tab, then Volume sub-tab in the ReadyNAS UI. You can see it below the pie-chart of usage. The default volume name for a system (unless you&#8217;ve made changes) is &#8220;data&#8221;</p>

<p>Now let&#8217;s say our NFS share on our ReadyNAS is &#8220;Backup&#8221;. In RAIDiator 4.x &amp; 5.x you&#8217;d enter &#8220;/Backup&#8221; in the Folder field of ESXi.</p>
<p>For ReadyNAS OS 6.x you need to enter it like this: &#8220;/data/Backup&#8221;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Everything else remains the same.</p>
<p>Hope this helps.</p>
<p>Regards,<br />Shane.&nbsp;</p>

Below is the text of the email I sent around before I finished and I thought some might find it of interest. I&#8217;ve got a number of options available to me for my &#8220;next thing&#8221; and I&#8217;ll update my LinkedIn profile when the time is right.</p>

I&#8217;m still a big fan of mobile tech, especially WebOS and all of the open source initiatives surrounding it. I hope those I met during my unofficial time engaged with this keep in contact.</p>
 

Now, on to the farewell note&#8230;

As some would have read on my blog before, I&#8217;ve tried using an HTC Desire as well as an iPhone to do so, and have ended up back on the iPhone for the time being. I&#8217;ve also tried an HTC Mozart (Windows Phone 7) and an imported, unlocked (AT&T) Palm Pre Plus. This post contains my thoughts on the Palm Pre Plus (specifically an imported model not supported in Australia yet).

I was writing with the bliss of a new &amp; shiny gadget in my hands. Who could blame me? The HTC Desire is one very nice piece of hardware. Fast processor, nice camera, beautiful screen etc.<br /><br />But this post is why after a few weeks I have found myself back using my iPhone, whilst the HTC Desire now resides in my top drawer, probably never to see the light of day as my daily handset again.
