[Gluster-users] NFS gluster mount on Windows

[Jarvis, Jeremy]

Hi Ben, Thanks for the quick reply. I'm using windows 2008 r2, it's deploying to AWS so we're not tied to the OS version if there are issues. The NFS version is 3. The mount seems fine for access through file explorer and apps run from command line, I only see the failure when it's an IIS application.

Hi Jeremy.  A couple things first, as of today gluster only supports NFS v3 so make sure you are using v3 and tcp mounts.  I haven't personally tested Windows NFS with gluster, which version of Windows are you using?  I would be happy to setup a test in our lab in hopes of helping get this working, I have seen issues with other OSs mounting gNFS that had to be resolved, maybe we are hitting something similar here.
