Data Fails to Be Written into a File System Mounted to ECSs Running Different Types of Operating Systems

Symptom

If a file system is mounted to a Linux ECS and a Windows ECS, on the Windows ECS, data cannot be written to the files created by the Linux ECS.

Possible Causes

A shared NFS file system belongs to the root user and cannot be modified. The write permission is granted to a user only when both the values of UID and GID of the user are 0. You can check your UID using Windows commands. If the value of UID is, for example, -2, you do not have the write permission.

Fault Diagnosis

To address this problem, modify the registry and change both UID and GID values to 0 for NFS accesses from Windows.

Solution

1. Choose Start > Run and enter regedit to open the registry.
2. Enter the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ClientForNFS\CurrentVersion\Default directory. Figure 1 shows an example of the directory.
