5. Select and stop the Server for NFS service.

6. Start the Server for NFS service.
NFS administrative shares support
SFU 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 C, 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…
The HP StorageWorks NAS 1000s supports many
network-sharing protocols, including the NFS protocol for UNIX
and Linux clients. Shares for which the NFS protocol are enabled
must be created on logical disks mounted on a drive letter. A
Windows Powered OS 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 UNIX (SFU) NFS Server
does not yet support the functionality of mount points.
All logical disks used for NFS sharing should be mounted on a
drive letter, not on a reparse or mount point. If no NFS shares will
be created on a particular logical disk, that virtual disk may be
mounted on a mount point instead of a drive letter.
