    Exclamation Mounting a Windows NFS share

    Hello,

    I am attempting to mount an NFS share that has been setup on a Windows Storage Server 2008 (R1). Initially, I could not even mount the share, though it would show up using "showmount -e <server_ip>".

    After adding the "ANONYMOUS LOGON" user to the NTFS permissions and granting the "Full Control" permission, I was able to successfully mount the share and read from it. However, I cannot write to it. The NFS share is set to allow anonymous access, UID 0 and GID 0. The appropriate host is listed in the NFS Share Permissions with Read-Write permissions, and ANSI encoding. Root access has also been allowed. I also tried granting the "Everyone" user full control in the NTFS permissions as well. See screenshots and console quote for clarification if needed.

    I've read around on Google for a couple hours now, and can't find an explanation for this. Suggestions?

    Code:
    wiki:/mnt# mount -t nfs -o rw storage1:/wiki /mnt/backup
    wiki:/mnt# cd backup/
    wiki:/mnt/backup# ls -l

    A little more info - there is space available to create files, and the directory permissions are 777:

    Code:
    wiki:/home/ricks# df -h /mnt/backup/
    Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
    storage1:/wiki        3.0T  1.9T  1.2T  62% /mnt/backup
    wiki:/home/ricks# ls -l /mnt
    total 1
    drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 64 2011-05-12 08:46 backup

    Did you find a solution to this? I'm struggling with this myself and am having the EXACT same symptoms...

    Thanks!
