Use your favourite text editor to edit the file, i am using nano here. sudo nano /etc/ Find the line with #Defaultvers=4 and instead of 4 or anything else write 3 and also remove the # to uncomment the line and save the file. Control + S will save the file on nano. Lets create a folder on our root directory where we will mount our network drive. I have create a folder named mountc on my root dir ie: /mountc. To create the dir, cd / sudo mkdir mountc Now that we are all set, lets mount the nfs drive. Issue the following command, sudo mount -t nfs 192. 64:/c /mountc -v Put the nfs server IP instead of 192. 64 and instead of /c put your own alias that you have assigned on your file. And /mountc is the path where /c will be mounted. Now you can access the nfs drive by navigating to /mountc from your file manager. After you have issued the following command you will get something like below. On NFS server terminal, On NFS client terminal, To unmount the mounted drive issue the following command, sudo umount /mountc -lf Where /mountc is the mount point.
As mentioned note that this does not show the disk space in use like the network drive mapping option. Summary We have shown you how to install the NFS client feature in Windows Server 2016, and then mount an NFS share from a Linux server both temporarily through command prompt with the mount command, and persistently so that the NFS share is mounted automatically after the server has been restarted. By doing this we can easily access files from a Unix or Linux based operating system over NFS from Windows.

In case you want to change the proposed share name, you can do it here from the Share name box. The remote share path will be automatically modified/completed for you. On the Authentication page, chose the authentication protocols you want to use for this share then click Next. Click the Add button to open the Add Permissions window. In the Host box, type the IP address or IP addresses for those Linux machine(s) that connect to this share. And here are the NTFS permissions for this folder. As you can see the Everyone group is already in the list with Modify permissions. If you just want Read permissions for this share, select the Everyone group and click the Customize Permissions button. On the Management Properties page, you are given the option to select what type of files are kept in this shared folder; for data management policies. From this page you can set a quota for the folder. In case the already available quota templates are not good for you, no worries, you can customize the quota or create a new one after the folder is shared using the File Server Resource Manager console.

Windows WinNFSd is a Network File System (NFS) server for Windows. You can use any NFS client to mount a directory of Windows and read/write files via NFS protocol. It is useful when you usually access files of Windows on Linux.
Apr 3, 2016 How To Mount and Access NFS Exports on Windows Server 2012 R2 Introduction Let's face it, we support mixed environments and sometimes we need to access information on Linux systems on our Windows systems. With that said say you have a Windows server that needs to get to NFS exports on a Linux systems. Well that is completely doable on Windows Server 2012 R2 using Client for NFS. Note: You can also mount NFS if you are running Windows 7 Enterprise or Ultimate versions. Using Client for NFS First we will need to install the Client for NFS feature on our systems needing to access the FS exports. Using Server Manager click on Manage > Add Roles and Features. Click Next until you reach the features selection and then select Client for NFS. Click Next then install. Now the client is installed. There are a few new commands installed with the client that we will cover in this post. To start Client for NFS from the Windows interface After installation this service should start by default, if not.
PS C:\> Get-WindowsFeature -Name NFS* As we can see NFS-Client is available for install but not currently installed. Next we use the Install-WindowsFeature cmdlet to install the NFS-Client feature, as shown below. PS C:\> Install-WindowsFeature -Name NFS-Client Once complete we should see that the installation has completed successfully, no reboot is required for this feature, we can begin using it straight away. Mount NFS Temporarily We can use the mount command in command prompt to quickly mount our NFS share and confirm that it's working. Note that the mount command used here is in command prompt rather than PowerShell, using it in PowerShell will fail as it is a different command. C:\Users\Administrators> mount \\192. 14\root\nfs X: X: is now successfully connected to \\192. 14\root\nfs The command completed successfully. At this point we can browse to "This PC" and we should see the NFS share mounted under Network Locations. There is an issue with this however, this mount is not persistent meaning that if we perform a restart of the Windows server it will not be there afterwards.
I'm posting this as an answer for a question asked by Sysprobs reader. How to configure and set up NFS share on Windows 7 and connect it to VMware ESX server as storage. Here I explain the steps I did in my test lab to create and connect storage to VMware ESXi server. Network File System (NFS) developed by Sun Microsystems to use in UNIX based systems. Update: Though this post was originally published in the year 2010 for Windows 7 host OS, it might work with Windows 10 and 8. 1 as long as Hanewin NFS works on the latest Windows OS with proper firewall setting. To set up NFS share on earlier Microsoft Operating systems, you need a component called 'Windows Services for UNIX (WSFU)' which can be downloaded from Microsoft. But WSFU is not available for Windows 7. So, creating NFS share on Windows 7 and allowing other UNIX based Operating Systems to access the share is not straight forward without third-party utilities. As mentioned earlier, this case is applicable for Windows 10 and 8. 1 Operating Systems also.
Last updated: 2020-07-10 I created a file gateway on AWS Storage Gateway. My file gateway uses VMware ESXi as the host platform. How can I connect a Network File System (NFS) file share to my Windows Server 2016 client? Resolution Important: These steps are specific to environments running in AWS, such as environments that use Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances or on-premises servers that are connected to AWS. Create the file share Open the Storage Gateway console. From the list of gateways, select your file gateway. Then, choose Create file share. Under Configure file share settings, for Amazon S3 bucket name, enter a name for the bucket. For Access objects using, select Network File System (NFS). Then, choose Next. For Configure how files are stored in Amazon S3, you can optionally modify the Storage class for new objects, Object metadata, or Access to your S3 bucket. Or, you can leave the default values for those fields, and then choose Next. Review the details of your NFS file share, and then choose Create file share.
