I want to know if anybody has done any hands on test mounting NFS on Windows XP using "Windows services for Unix" http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=274
I know that it should work but I want to know if people have had any problem with it or can it reliably replace Samba sharing?
It works in the most technical of senses. Reliability is heavily dependent on consistent and simplistic use. If you just need a few XP clients to connect it will work. If you need to do anything complicated, especially involving user mapping or complicated access controls, it'll probably fail spectacularly.
