NFS on CentOS 7 & Windows 10 NFS Client Configuration. I store most of my data on CentOS 7 server with over 40TB of RAID backed storage volumes. From my Mac Pro I was able to use Netatalk which uses Apple’s AFP to access my data. Having switched to Windows I now needed either CIFS (Samba) or NFS. A3: If you are using firewalls on Windows or any of the clients, their configuration must be adjusted to allow various ports through to the server and clients. NFS works by using several subprocesses to handle various aspects of NFS operation. These subprocesses are called portmapper, mountd, nfsd. Statd, and lockd.
NFS (Network File System) is a client-server filesystem that allows users to access files across a network and handle them as if they are located in a local file directory. It is developed by Sun Microsystems, Inc, and it is common for Linux/ Unix systems. Since Windows Server 2012 R2, it is possible to configure it on as a role and use it with Windows or Linux machines as clients. Read to know about How to Configure NFS in Windows Server 2016 here. How to install NFS to Windows Server 2016 Installation of NFS (Network File System) role is no different than an installation of any other role. It goes from “Add roles and features Wizard”.
With few clicks on “Select server roles” page, under File and Storage Services, and expansion of File and iSCSI Services, the system will show checkbox “Server for NFS”. Installation of that role will enable NFS server. The configuration of NFS on Windows Server 2016 After installation, it is needed to configure role properly. The first stage is choosing or creating a folder for NFS (Network File System) share. With right click and properties option, the system will bring the NFS Sharing tab, and Manage NFS sharing button, as part of the tab.
It will provide NFS Advanced Sharing dialogue box, with authentication and mapping options, as well as with “Permissions” button. Clicking on “Permissions” button will open Type of access drop-down list, with the possibility of root user access, and permission level. By default, any client can access the NFS shared folder, but it is possible to control or limit the specific clients, with a clicking of Add button and type the client’s IP address or hostname. Mount NFS Shared Folder on Windows Client The steps above make NFS (Network File System) server ready for work.
To successfully test it, it is needed to mount chosen NFS folder on a Linux or Windows client with following steps:. It is needed to activate a feature on the client, by clicking Control Panel / Programs and Features / Services for NFS / Client for NFS. After installing the service, it is needed to mount the folder with the following command: mount –o: The command maps folder as drive and assigns chosen letter to it. Mount NFS Shared Folder on Linux Client No matter NFS is common to Linux / Unix systems, it is still needed to mount folder to a system via command, similar to windows systems.
Mount –t NFS / /.
Grants permission to access shares that an NFS server exports. In this article Syntax Grant-NfsSharePermission -ClientName -ClientType -Permission -LanguageEncoding -AllowRootAccess -Name -NetworkName -CimSession -ThrottleLimit -AsJob -WhatIf -Confirm Grant-NfsSharePermission -Path -ClientName -ClientType -Permission -LanguageEncoding -AllowRootAccess -CimSession -ThrottleLimit -AsJob -WhatIf -Confirm Description The Grant-NfsSharePermission cmdlet configures access permissions to a Network File System (NFS) share that an NFS server exports. You can use Grant-NfsSharePermission to grant permissions for a share by using a specified name or path.
You can choose the type of permissions to provide to client computers, netgroups, or client groups. You can choose to fence the language encoding across individual hosts or netgroups. Services for NFS supports fencing of shares by using the following principals:. Hosts.
Client groups. Netgroups Examples Example 1: Grant NFS share permissions to a specified client computer PS C: Grant-NfsSharePermission -Name 'Export' -ClientName 'contoso-fs' -ClientType 'host' -Permission 'readwrite' This command grants read/write access to a share named Export for a computer named contoso-fs. Example 2: Grant NFS share permissions to a specified client group PS C: Grant-NfsSharePermission -Name 'Export' -ClientName 'contoso-clientgroup' -ClientType 'clientgroup' -Permission 'readonly' This command grants read-only access to a share named Export for a client group named contoso-clientgroup. Required Parameters. Indicates that this cmdlet runs the command as a background job on a remote computer. Use this parameter to run commands that take an extensive time to finish. When you use the AsJob parameter, the command returns an object that represents the job, and then displays the command prompt.
You can continue to work in the session while the job finishes. To manage the job, use the Job cmdlets.
To get the job results, use the Receive-Job cmdlet. The AsJob parameter resembles using the Invoke-Command cmdlet to run a Start-Job command remotely. However, with AsJob, the job is created on the local computer, even though the job runs on a remote computer, and the results of the remote job are automatically returned to the local computer.

Specifies the type of language encoding used for access permissions configured on an NFS share. You can use only one of the following values for a share:. euc-jp (Japanese). euc-tw (Chinese). euc-kr (Korean).
shift-jis (Japanese). big5 (Chinese).
ksc5601 (Korean). gb2312-80 (Simplified Chinese). ansi Type: String Aliases: Lang, Encoding Accepted values: euc-jp, euc-tw, euc-kr, shift-jis, big5, ksc5601, gb2312-80, ansi Position: 4 Default value: None Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName) Accept wildcard characters: False. Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet. If this parameter is omitted or a value of 0 is entered, then Windows PowerShell速 calculates an optimum throttle limit for the cmdlet based on the number of CIM cmdlets that are running on the computer.
The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer. Type: Int32 Position: Named Default value: None Accept pipeline input: False Accept wildcard characters: False.
