notes to being able to write this article at a later time:

How my network looks like

• main workstation
• general purpose notebook; mainly used by ma wife
• my netbook that I often use if the notebook is not available
• mythtv media center
• and now my new banana pi which should work as a central data store --> NAS

On all of this machines I use the same user name. But the UIDs and GIDs of this user is different as I did not take care in the past. And now I want to have parts of my home data in all of this machines on my central NAS (the banana pi).

On banana pi

• Current raspian image for bananapi
• aptitude install nfs-kernel-server avahi-daemon
• changed root password to being able to access the system via ssh root@bananapi.local
• removing the local pi user

on nfs client machines:

The main issue on client machines that should use a central NFS share for data storage are the question about the user id under which data will be stored on the server.

• at this link I saw how I am able to modify a UID for an already existing user.
