Greetings,

We have a File server (Windows Server 2012R2) with many volumes, each volume is a share. We were running out of drive letters, so we decided to mount all the volumes to a single NTFS folder. Everything works great, except any attempt to create an NFS share fails with error "Server for NFS cannot update the share configuration. Try updating the shared directory again, or delete and recreate the shared directory"
I also get an event ID 2006 from ServicesForNFS-Server. with message: "Failed to create new NFS share for path M:\VOLUMES\<volumename>. Status 0xC00000BB"

If I assign the volume a drive letter, I can share it via NFS just fine.

Any suggestions or clues as to why this happens?

Thank you in advance,

--Jorge

Hi Jorge,

Thanks for your post.

NFS share cannot be created under a mount point in a cluster or on a stand alone server.
