Hello, Please test the binaries Thanks, Martin ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Roland Mainz <roland.mainz@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, Jan 1, 2024 at 10:47 PM Subject: [Ms-nfs41-client-devel] ANN: NFSv4.1 Windows driver binaries for Windows 10/11 for testing, 2024-01-01 ... To: <ms-nfs41-client-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Hi! ---- I've created a set of test binaries for the NFSv4.1 filesystem driver for Windows 10/11, based on https://github.com/kofemann/ms-nfs41-client (commit id #43852f547ce80b3b33bb05c2e993e322d2264dfa + patches which should fix the VC runtime issues, git bundle in tarball), for testing and feedback (download URL below). Please send comments, bugs, test reports, complaints etc. to the MailMan mailing list at https://sourceforge.net/projects/ms-nfs41-client/lists/ms-nfs41-client-devel # 1. Requirements: - Windows 10 - Cygwin 3.5.0 - Packages: cygwin cygwin-devel cygrunsrv cygutils cygutils-extra bash bzip2 coreutils getent gdb grep hostname less pax pbzip2 procps-ng sed tar time util-linux wget # 2. Installation (as "Administrator"): $ mkdir -p ~/download $ cd ~/download $ wget 'http://www.nrubsig.org/people/gisburn/work/msnfs41client/releases/testing/msnfs41client_cygwin_binaries_20240101_22h08m_git683af48.tar.bz2' $ (cd / && tar -xf ~/download/msnfs41client_cygwin_binaries_20240101_22h08m_git683af48.tar.bz2 ) $ /sbin/msnfs41client install # 3.

As getent uses the configured name services it should work with LDAP too. This is still work-in-progress, with the goal that both NFSv4 client and server can use different uid/gid numeric values for client and server side. - UNC paths are supported, after successful mounting /sbin/nfs_mount will list the paths in Cygwin UNC format. - SIDs work, users with valid Windows accounts (see Cygwin idmapping above get their SIDs, unknown users with valid uid/gid values get Unix_User+id/Unix_Group+id SIDs, and all others are mapped to nobody/nogroup SIDs. - Cygwin symlinks are supported, but might require $ fsutil behavior set SymlinkEvaluation L2L:1 R2R:1 L2R:1 R2L:1 #. This includes symlinks to UNC paths, e.g. as Admin $ cmd /c 'mklink /d c:\home\rmainz \\derfwpc5131_ipv6@2049\nfs4\export\home2\rmainz' # and then $ cd /cygdrive/c/home/rmainz/ # should work - performance: All binaries are build without any optimisation, so the filesystem is much slower than it could be. - bad performance due to Windows Defender AntiVirus: Option 1: # disable Windows defender realtime monitoring # (requires Admin shell) powershell -Command 'Set-MpPreference -DisableRealtimeMonitoring 1' Option 2: Add "nfsd.exe", "nfsd_debug.exe", "ksh93.exe", "bash.exe", "git.exe" and other offending commands to the process name whitelist. - performance: Use vmxnet3 in VMware to improve performance - ACLs are supported via the normal Windows ACL tools, but on Linux require the nfs4_getfacl/nfs4_setfacl utilities to see the data. Example (assuming that Windows, Linux NFSv4 client and NFSv4 server have a user "siegfried_wulsch"): - On Windows on a NFSv4 filesystem, : $ icacls myhorribledata.txt /grant "siegfried_wulsch:WD" # - On Linux NFSv4 clients you will then see this: ---- snip ---- $ nfs4_getfacl myhorribledata.txt A::OWNER@:rwatTcCy A::siegfried_wulsch@xxxxxxxxxx:rwatcy A::GROUP@:rtcy A::EVERYONE@:rtcy ---- snip ---- - nfs_mount only works when the NFSv4 server allows connections from ports >= 1024, as Windows does not allow the Windows NFSv4 client to use a "privileged port" (i.e. TCP port number < 1024)). By default the NFSv4 server on Solaris, Illumos, Linux etc. only accepts connections if the NFSv4 client uses a "privileged (TCP) port", i.e. a port number < 1024. This can be worked around by using the "insecure" export option in Linux /etc/exports, which allows connections from ports >= 1024, and for Solaris/Illumos see nfs(5), option "resvport". # # Known issues: # - The kernel driver ("nfs41_driver.sys") does not have a cryptographic signature for SecureBoot - which means it will only work if SecureBoot is turned off (otherwise $ /sbin/msnfs41client install # will FAIL!) - If nfsd_debug.exe crashes or gets killed, the only safe way to run it again requires a reboot - LDAP support does not work yet - Attribute caching is to aggressive, making $ tail -f ... # not seeing new data. Workaround: Use GNU tail'S $ tail --follow=name ... # - krb5p security with AES keys do not work against the linux server, as it does not support gss krb5 v2 tokens with rotated data. - When recovering opens and locks outside of the server's grace period, client does not check whether the file has been modified by another client. - If nfsd.exe is restarted while a drive is mapped, that drive needs to be remounted before further use. - Does not allow renaming a file on top of an existing open file. Connectathon's special test op_ren has been commented out. - Extended attributes are supported with some limitations: a) the server must support NFS Named Attributes, b) the order of listings cannot be guaranteed by NFS, and c) the EaSize field cannot be reported for directory queries of FileBothDirInformation, FileFullDirInfo, or FileIdFullDirInfo. # EOF. ---- Bye, Roland -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) roland.mainz@xxxxxxxxxxx \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 3992797 (;O/ \/ \O;) _______________________________________________ Ms-nfs41-client-devel mailing list Ms-nfs41-client-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ms-nfs41-client-devel
