nfs client for windows (server 2012)

Installation and how to use:

Install the client by adding the feature “nfs client for windows” – straight forward … no reboot required
use nftadmin to configure the client, if necessary
use mount to map shares
use umount to remote mount points

Example
mount \\nas-device\nas\share u:
could be interesting:

-o mtype=soft|hard
hard: in case the nfs-server goes offline, the nfs client for windows will try to reconnect until the server is online again.
–o nolock
better performance in case of just read-access
-o fileaccess=mode

Links
man page mount
man page nfsadmin
