Final attempt before I give up and use Samba.

Logic suggests it would. Incidentally I do have all the files backed up on an external drive from before it all went pear shaped - would it be worth checking ownership of the backed up files?Well you're surely just going to do one at a time to start with right? So, did it work?In a word 'No'.Backed up files are owned by current user but unsure if that's just because the current user has mounted the USB drive.Tried the chown command when share mounted. Every single file 'Operation not permitted'.Can/should I copy the backed up files as it seems to think it owns them?BTW I discovered yesterday that Samba works, so although I'd prefer a native NFS solution I may end up using Samba.Julian
1. Boot Live Distro. 2. Format main partition Ext4 using gparted. 3. Copy system backup onto main partition. 4. Pray. 5. Reboot. NB. As an Atheist step 4 may not work :) Worst case scenario I reinstall 19.3 and see if that wants to work now.
