I have a SAN that allows me to create NFS shares. The settings are pretty sparse, but this is what I have setup:
- Name: test
- Description: test
- Quota: off
- Access (IP of client) 10.1.30.101
- Read Only: off
- Write Asyn: on
- Root Squash: off
- Anon UID: blank (unavailable)
- Anon GID: blank (unavailable)
I have a new Windows 2008 R2 Standard server, with all updates, and Services for NFS installed. In Services for NFS management console, I can see both the Client for NFS and the Server for NFS icons and both services are present and started in the Services management console. At this point, I should be able to give a UNC path for the NFS share for a connection. In the Run line I enter \\Cluster1\test. The result is an error window that reads, "An unexpected error occurred." I am also occasionally finding the following in the application log:
