how do I mount nfs per system persistent and share as windows share

Question

I'd like to share an NFS share writable to SMB clients. I need to mount an NFS3 folder persistently to get re-shared to windows client via standard "net share".

Hello Evan Less,

Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

To mount an NFS share persistently and re-share it as a Windows share, you can follow these steps:

1. Mount NFS Share Persistently:

• Open Command Prompt as an administrator.

• Create a directory where you want to mount the NFS share, e.g., C:\NFS_Share.

• Use the mount command to mount the NFS share:

• mount -o anon \<NFS_Server_IP><NFS_Share> C:\NFS_Share

• To make the mount persistent, add the mount command to the Startup folder or create a scheduled task that runs at startup.

2. Share the Mounted NFS Folder via SMB:

• Open Command Prompt as an administrator.

• Use the net share command to share the mounted NFS folder:

• net share NFS_Share=C:\NFS_Share /grant:everyone,full

• This will create a Windows share named NFS_Share that is writable to SMB clients.

I hope the information above is helpful.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to let us know.
