Win 10 Pro now has NFS Client Services: There is a good tutorial here: (to get rid of '-2 mapping id's): after adding AnonymousUid AnonymousGid as per above links instructions, I left their 'Data' value default, '0x0000.' And after rebooting my Win10 Pro Client, I used the 'mount -o anon.'
Setting up an NFS share on OpenMediaVault first requires a usable file system. Unfortunately, OMV doesn’t allow the user to create a share from the web UI on the OS hard drive. Rather than the automatic one in the setup. Another option would be virtualizing OpenMediaVault. Using the OS as a VM allows users to create custom virtual hard. How to share folders via NFS via fstab aka how to setup NFS server on OSMC. My “NAS” will be my old RPi3, it runs OSMC. My mediacenter is now the Vero. Thanks to this guide, I know how to setup the Vero (which will be a ‘client’) but no idea how to setup the Raspberry with OSMC.
Cmd, as per above link. It should grab the uid/gid of your NFS server shares automatically for r/w ability. In your Win10 pro (Clients) File Manager, right-click on the 'Drive:' nfs mounted share, select 'Properties', and look in 'NFS Attributes' which will show you the permissions, uid, gid. Also, there is more details here: (NFS Client services have been added to Win10 Pro, so the above should apply now as well). NFS is king, and I can't stand all that other bloated mess of Samba/CIFS/AFP/.
I did this for the first time on a whim - damn, great results! The test I performed was using CrystalDiskMark across a MoCA 2.0 network with other traffic going on (I watch HDHomeRun TV recorded on a FreeBSD VM) - still got the speeds you see below: Note, if you want to do this test, NFS drive map will not show up in Windows Explorer (at least it didn't for me) so I chose 'Select Folder' in CDM and just typed in the map letter (I had mapped the share to N: ). Also the command took me a minute to figure out because it was messed up on the web page of the example.
This is a copy of an I wrote for NMT/Popcorn forums: Ive tested with mixed results. It is also very basic, and does not work smoothly with the NMT GUI, so at €19 Hanewin could well be the better choice at this point.
I have been setting up NFS for a friend – who is running Win 7 64 bit. We eventually(.) got Hanewin working ( €19 for non-commercial use) but I was still a bit miffed there seemed to be no readily available free implementation of an industry standard protocol for which much source code is available, and set about on a quest for a free alternative – nfsd/cygwin is no good for media streaming – It is NFS Version 2 cant do files over 2G – UNFSD on cygwin – Very slow apparently. Never tested. – NFS Server for Windows – If you have Ultimate or Enterprise edition you can use Microsoft”s offering. If you have Home or Professional then you cant.

– – After much googling I stumbled across FreeNFS – surprisingly difficult to find, at the time, until removing the space from “Free NFS” from search queries. (Hence thread title!) Pros: – It seems to works (I have tested streaming 720p will try to push it harder soon) – The Program is small 206K executable, – about 6M memory usage. (a DOS prompt uses 1M) – Supports NFS Version 3 (2G files) – Tested running as a service using – see below.
– Multi-threaded Cons – The service does not advertise exports. It doesn’t respond to showmount despite running its own portmapper. lordy@bridgetown tmp$ /usr/sbin/showmount -e 192.168.88.146 clntcreate: RPC: Program not registered – The exports must be mounted via a script (or command line). They do not mount via Popcorn GUI even if manually configured in the Network Share settings – probably because of the portmapper issue.
– Only one export is allowed – you can overcome this using NTFS junctions and also mounting specific sub directories. – I have seen some odd behaviour when trying to copy large files from PC to my linux server over NFS, the copy command hangs with 0 bytes transferred, however the same file plays OK on the NMT. It may be an option is required on newer Linux clients. Mounts seem to go stale quickly from my Mandriva client, – There is no installer (this may be good or bad depending on your point of view). Example: —– If I have stuff on my Pc in E: downloads Videos I first open my firewall ports (either via executable or specific nfs ports 111,2049 ) then I run FreeNFS and can configure it with path E: downloads Then on the popcorn, telnet in.
Once working you can add these to a startup script. The source code is in the public domain, so I can’t imagine it will be too difficult for someone to add mulitple mounts, and advertising of mounts to portmapper, (.) Hanewin and ESET Internet Security do not play nice! I had a lot of trouble installing Hanewin – it could not read it’s own configuration file, I finally realized it was ESET Security, although we had disabled the firewall, it was still doing some kind of protection on files on Program Files(x86).
Hanewin keeps its configuration files in the same folder – and that was probably the root cause of the problem. I’m not a windows programmer but I suspect they should go elsewhere. Quick Update, I’m now running it as a service I copied it to Program Files folder and updated the firewall rules. I installed it as a service using.
As this is Win 7 compatible. (all my own testing is on XP so far). C: Program Files FreeNFSnssm.exe install nfsd 'c: Program Files FreeNFS FreeNFS.exe' Service 'nfsd' installed successfully! I started the service and mounted it manually on the NMT.
The mounted folder was empty at first. It reads the mount settings from HKCU Software so I edited the service in the services control panel to log on as myself and restarted the service. You could create a dedicated user to do this, in which case run it interactively at least once, as that user, to set the mount point.
Then I mounted it on the HDX and the PC200, and streaming 720p simultaneously to both no problems (so threading looks OK), Utilisation is 0.7% CPU(T9500), 4M RAM, working set. I had to exclude the mounted folder (E: downloads) from my antivirus(MSSE) as it went crazy at first when I did an ‘ls’ command from the NMT (this folder has lots of exe’s and zips), if you have pure media it might be OK, but still an overhead IMO. I’ll try a 1080p file soon that hits 29Mbps but so far no major issues.
UPDATE: 1080p working fine – 4-10%CPU(T9500 2.6MHz) with 10-30 Mbps mkv stream. with the same file on my dns323 with much smaller processer, unfsd only uses 14-20% cpu, but also reports 12-38% idle – so real load is about 60-75% cpu? Junctions working ok on XP with FreeNAS (I used sysinternals junction), so this gets around the single mount issue. At one point I had to remount on the NMT for the junction to become visible. (Probably just because I moved the junction and some reference became stale).
