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. 8 HP StorageWorks NAS 4000s and 9000s Release Notes
