I am running an openSUSE 15.1 NFS server in a cluster with a mix of Linux and Windows clients. The Linux side of everything seems to be working great. The NFS clients on Windows 10 seem unstable. They seem always to have trouble maintaining the connection. There are four Windows computers that are doing the same thing. They are pretty much identical.
Wait a minute. Why am I asking what appears to be a Windows question here? Well, I can't be 100% positive it is simply that the official Windows 10 NFS client from Microsoft is so unstable, I do not see any discussions about this. Surely there would be a blip on the radar. All I see are things about speed comparisons.
So, I am thinking that the server and client are somehow mismatched. So I'm starting by asking: Is anyone using the MS NFS client for Windows 10 with an openSUSE NFS server?
Why NFS? Mainly because it is easy to share and unshare directories independently. The server maintains a disk array with 24 removable disks (hot swappable). These disks come and go independently. So they need to be exported and unexported independently. I do not see how to do this with SAMBA. All is in one big file and they are shared and unshared together. We do not want to disrupt some disks while changing others. So NFS seemed a way to go. If I have missed something in SAMBA, I would be ever so happy. That was question two.
I to had "flakey" connections with nfs and switched to cifs/sshfs and both have been rather solid. I cannot say that there not been interruption but they have been very few and far between. <user> crontab: @reboot echo "<passwd>" | sshfs -p 22 -C -o password_stdin,reconnect,delay_connect,ServerAliveInterval=15,ServerAliveCountMax=3,allow_other carolyn@carolyn:/C:/ /home/paka/carol/ /etc/fstab //192.168.1.100/C-Share/ /home/paka/cifs cifs credentials=/root/.smbcredentials,guest,nofail,_netdev,iocharset=utf8,sec=ntlmssp,uid=1000,gid=100,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,noserverino 0 0 those are single lines. and permissions are not exactly the same, sshfs reveals more files on the windows side. <passwd> on sshfs can be directed to use a file as "credentials" does in fstab. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
