modified from Wi
ndows, use the following workaround:
1. On a Windows machine, make a copy of the file.
2. Delete the original file.
3. Rename the cop

the root user (for example, sys). When a file is created by the Windows local
administratoronanNFSshare,thefile will have owner nobody and group
nogroup (42929 6 7 29 4 on Linux) when viewed from the NFS client. This issue

Workaround
If you experience a problem with the NFS server not responding, increase the
read/write buffer size.
Increase the buffer size by changing the mount options to:
mount -o rsize=32768,wsize=32768 server:/share /mount
If the NFS client is in a hung state, the client may need to be rebooted and the NFS
server service may need to be restarted on the storage server. To restart the NFS
server service on the storage server, do the following:
1. Open a command prompt.
2. Type net stop nfssvc.
3. Type net start nfssvc.
Issue:

computer. Both symptoms last for approximately 30 seconds.

karound
After 30 seconds, the file will disappear from the Explorer window, and you can
save new versions of the file.

Description
If you mount a Windows share from an NFS client and copy files onto the same
NFS share, the accurate size of the files may not be immed iately displayed on
