I am running a server with arch linux and it is for all intents and purposes an nfs server atm. It is up and running and everything works wonderfully. I am able to connect from both my laptops (running arch, and ubuntu) so I will assume for now that I was able to configure everything properly. The issue comes when trying to connect from my windows 10 machine. I have enabled the nfs client and what not in the Turn on programs and features (Not sure if thats actually the name or not).

From the command prompt...

$ mount -o anon \\ipAddr/home/user A: 
A: is now successfully connected to \\ipAddr/home/user
The command completed successfully.
$ A:
Access is denied

And from the file explorer, it tells me I have insufficient permissions to access the drive, and I need to contact the network admin. Also running mount yields

$ mount
Local    Remote                                 Properties
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
A:       \\ipAddr\home\user                  Unavailable  

Does anyone have any ideas what my issue is?

  • just tells me that mountvol.exe is a way to create list or delete volume mount points Creates, deletes, or lists a volume mount point... MOUNTVOL [drive:] path... (ommited for brevity)

I decide to ditch windows' mount client and switch to sshfs as this is what I am used to and my preferred method of mounting and it worked like a charm!
