Access problems with unc paths to folders shared by nfs

Question

I have a windows 2016, mounting nfs resources from a Linux server, but when I try to access the same resource by uns path or using the exporter it gives me a network error (resource not found)
Is there any way to force the NFS client to use Nfsv3, we are seeing that on the NFS server, it cannot identify which version is used.

Answer 1

I have solved the problem, we had to leave the server configured only with the nfsv3 version, although it was configured to be compatible with nfsv3 and nfsv4, windows did not work well when you accessed with unc paths.

Hi,

Thanks for posting on our forum!

1) "how to force the NFS client to use Nfsv3"
——After my research, you can enable or disable NFSv3 by modifying the -v3 option. This allows file access for clients using the NFSv3 protocol. By default, NFSv3 is enabled. Not sure if it is what you mean. If you mean you want to force NFS automounts to use NFSv3. Then just follow the guidance in this article:

https://serverfault.com/questions/219190/can-i-force-nfs-automounts-to-use-nfsv3

2) Based on your descriptions, I noticed an error message: "The volume on the \ 172.22.197.79 \ srv drive is unlabeled." This information usually indicates that you did not assign a drive letter for a volume in your remote folder share from your Linux server. So just check if your drive is assigned with a drive letter.

3) Analyzing logs is out of our Q&A scope, and if you need investigation into your logs, you may need to open a case with our Microsoft Customer Support and Services. In addition, if the issue has been proved as system flaw, the consulting fee would be refund. You may find phone number for your region accordingly from the link below.

Global Customer Service phone numbers:

I suggest you to check if you have assigned a drive letter before opening a case.

Thanks for your understanding!

Thank you very much for the reply.

I was really wondering if you can force the client to only use version 3 of nfs.
The linux server supports v3.

Thank you so much

Hello,

Thanks for your reply!

It seems that you have made some progress in solving your issue, doesn't it?

——I was really wondering if you can force the client to only use version 3 of nfs.
By default, NFSv3 is enabled, as I said before. I guess here you mean a stricter way to force the clients ONLY to use dfs-v3. From our perspective, the default setting is enough, if you need stricter or more customized policy, then I think you can look for some customized scripts, which is our of Microsoft scope. But I can suggest you to try to find something useful in GIthub.com:
