HI,
I'm trying to run nfs-kernel-server using WSL on windows 10 but I'm getting an error as " * Not starting NFS kernel daemon: no support in current kernel" when I start the service. IS there any way to fix this issue.

Regards,
Anushree

    Did you check Windows official documentation about Network File System (NFS)?

    As the error tells you, your current GNU/Linux kernel does not support NFS. You can solve it either by

    -Configuring and compiling your own kernel, or
    -Configuring and compiling your own upstream kernel
    -Installing the package provided by Windows to save you the time and effort required for previous options:

    Hope this resolves your Query!!
