It's 2020 and Linux NFS client still can't locally remap UIDs to remote ones without messing with a server you may have no control over.
With CIFS? Easy.
//10.0.1.4/Public /qnap/Public cifs credentials=/home/andreiw/cifscreds,uid=andreiw 0 0
//10.0.1.4/Public /qnap/Public cifs credentials=/home/andreiw/cifscreds,uid=andreiw 0 0
Note that this has nothing to do with CIFS. Nothing at all. But it speaks volumes about the developer investment in supporting NFS vs CIFS clients in Linux.
I don't mind using CIFS. This took seconds to figure out. But it aggravates me that a perfectly good and simple UNIX technology (NFSv3) is orphaned.
Supposedly local remapping is possible with NFSv4, but you see a pattern here? Local. It has nothing to do with the protocol, and everything to do with a lack of a cohesive story for remote mounts and UID/GID overrides.
But sure. Keep hacking away at Wayland. The year of the Linux desktop is just over the hill. Infrastructure is not sexy, right?
