Clearing the NFS log via the WebUI causes the log file to
become inaccessible
When clearing the NFS logs via the WebUI, the log file will
clear but the file permissions are set incorrectly. Access to the
log c:\msnfs\logs with Windows Explorer will be denied.
To resolve the issue, stop the Server for NFS service, then clear
the NFS log, then start the Server for NFS service. The log file
will then be accessible.
NFS administrative shares support
Services for NFS does not work with administrative shares in the
same fashion as CIFS. By default, a volume drive such as C: is
CIFS shared as C$. This is an example of an administrative share
and is hidden to CIFS clients. If an NFS share is created and
named drive S, as in the example, the share will not be hidden to
NFS clients. This NFS share will act as a normal NFS share.
Volume Mount Points support
Attempting to create an NFS share on a disk mounted on a
mount point will result in the error:
Cannot write IOCTL to NFS driver….
HP StorageWorks NAS 4000s/9000s supports many network
sharing protocols including the NFS protocol for UNIX and
Linux clients. Shares for which the NFS protocol will be enabled
must be created on logical disks that are mounted on a drive
letter. Microsoft Windows Storage Server 2003 supports
mounting virtual disks onto mount points or reparse points
created on another disk already mounted on a drive letter.
Mount points enable the administrator to mount many disk
devices under a single drive letter, creating the appearance and
behavior of a larger disk drive with a contiguous namespace.
However, the Microsoft Services for NFS Server does not yet
support the functionality of mount points.
