Step 9. Create your shared NFS disk. In this example I will create an NFS share called public

 On your Windows machine open Windows Explorer and create a new folder. In this example the folder is c:\public

Then right click on the folder and choose sharing and security.  This will  bring up a window called public properties. Choose the NFS sharing tab and choose the 'share this folder' radio button. Click okay.


 

 

Step 10. Assign file permissions. From the Windows machine go to the command prompt and type

 chown dave c:\public

chgrp sfu c:\public  

 This will give ownership to a group called sfu and a user called dave.  

 You can verify this buy typing:

 ls -l 

which should produce this: 

drwx------  1 dave             sfu           0 Jul  2 18:06 public 

 

Step 11.  Mount the NFS share from your Unix client from a mount point called /mnt/public

From the command prompt 

cd /mnt

mkdir public 

mount harpie:/public /public 

 Verify the mount by typing the following:

ls -l /mnt


total 1
drwx------   2 dave     sfu           64 Jul  2 18:06 public

Viola one NFS mount!

Hello and thanks for all the pics and instructions. I fail at step 10. chown
and chgrp both fail with Invalid user/group name. When I try from explorer,
only my user and Administrator are allowed for setting owner. Perhaps problem
is me being in a domain? When I run the mount from Unix it looks good and 777
but I get permission denied for any command run on that dir.

Hi John,

That's a nuisance I haven't tried it in a machine in a domain so that
is a possible issue. I will set up a couple of Virtual PCs and try it out when i
get a minute. It seems like you are almost there let me know if you crack it
before I do.

Cheers

Dave
