Mount on Windows client is a bit different. Here are the steps to mount export on Windows:
1. Enable NFS Client on the Windows client system. Step 1. Enable File Services Role. Go to Server Management – > Add Roles -> File Services Step 2. Install Services for Network File System. Go to File Services – > Add Role Services 2. Mount the export, can use either mount command or "net use" command: c:> mount * 192.168.111.158! <== note, "*" can also be a drive character here c:> net use Z: 192.168.111.158! (there is a space between Z: and <IP-address>! another important thing is ! mark, this does the trick. Withoutout !, Windows NFS client doesn't work with root export "/") There is a user mapping issue: map Windows users to Linux users. Since NFS gateway doesn't recognize Windows users, it maps them to the Linux user "nobody". To do any data I/O test, you can create a directory on HDFS and give everyone access permission. In reality, most administrators use Windows AD server to manage the user mapping between Windows and Linux systems so the user mapping is not an issue in those environments.
