Gluster users - Mar 2015 - NFS gluster mount on Windows

Hi,

I'm trying to use Windows Services for NFS to expose a gluster node and
access this folder with an Application Pool Identity. I can map the drive
correctly and read access works but I can't get write working.


The procedure I'm using is:
Set the DefaultApplicationPoolIdentity to use user "CustomUser"

Set the following environment variables to 0 (for root)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ClientForNFS
\CurrentVersion\Default\AnonymousUid
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ClientForNFS
\CurrentVersion\Default\AnonymousGid

Open a cmd with "CustomUser"
mount -o nolock <ip-of-gluster>:/datapoint Z:
SUCCESS

Then the iis application is supposed to write log files out to Z:\ but always
fails. I wrote a small test app that stats the folder and I can successfully
stat the directory with "CustomUser". Right click >
Properties>NFS Attributes shows RWX for all and the NFS Mount Options shows
UID 0 Primary GID 0.

I can't think of anything else that would be standing in the way. Any advice
is greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Jeremy.

Hi Jeremy.  A couple things first, as of today gluster only supports NFS v3 so
make sure you are using v3 and tcp mounts.  I haven't personally tested
Windows NFS with gluster, which version of Windows are you using?  I would be
happy to setup a test in our lab in hopes of helping get this working, I have
seen issues with other OSs mounting gNFS that had to be resolved, maybe we are
hitting something similar here.
