Win7 NFS errors immediately

[marcevan]

Win7 Pro so no NFS by Microsoft (needs enterprise I believe).

So Have NekoDrive w/o Dokan and already .Net 4 full

I've setup all my NFS shares on freeNAS with nobody/nobody in the map all and given only my win7 PCs IP the privileges. NFS is turned on.

But as soon as I hit connect in NekoDrive, I get back:

org.acplt.oncrpc.OncRpcProgramNotRegisterdException: ONC/RPC program not registered.

The doc says:

If you receive an error "RPC: Program not registered", upgrade to the latest version of FreeNAS® and restart the NFS service after the upgrade in order to clear the NFS cache.

No luck.

Since Crashplan plugin is half-baked (headless) my only option is NFS mounts and use Crashplan's own windows app to select the NFS mounts.

I know that nekodrive has some issues and it looks like it hasn't been updated in three years... Does using this utility instead work?

 

[marcevan]

I looked at it but it requires some downloads, and compiling, signing, etc.

I thought FreeNAS NFS would simply work out of the proverbial box for Windows like it does for Linux.

NekoDrive error firmly hints at the server and googling that confirms it.

NFS on Windows is complete crap imo. I tried that once.. got a whopping 22MB/sec throughput. I then gave up and never tried that again after 5 people in IRC said "that's normal".

 

[marcevan]

Yes, I shut down NFS.

 

[cyberjock]

What break-neck speeds did you get marcevan?

 

[marcevan]

None. Total failure from Win7. I need something to do crashplan backups. I mean, someone either needs to do a complete head to the plugin, or we all need to tell crashplan to enable user-level shared drives (mapped drives)

 

[cyberjock]

Eh, just do what a friend says works.. use the subst command in Windows.

For example, if your network share is mapped to M:\ and you want Crashplan to backup D:\ you do

subst m: j:\

Now it thinks J:\ is a local drive. Haha. :D

 

[marcevan]

Doesn't work.

Crashplan only sees C: and D:.

My freenas media is on M:

If I do subst j: m:/ I get a J: with media but Crashplan knows it's not system level or local.

 

[cyberjock]

Interesting. Messaged my buddy and he said it works for him. /shrug

 

[marcevan]

Killing Crashplan in lieu of Cloudme. Cloudme lets any Windows (or other) client that can map as drive to freenas include that in the backup.

Done.

 

[cyberjock]

Cloudme!

Pardon me, but Cloudyourself buddy! ;)

Hehe
