NFS share supported on Server 2012 dynamic disk?

  • 772

Creating NFS shares on server 2008 R2 spanned volumes (with dynamic disks) works however when I tried on 2012 I received an error. The same PowerShell command works on the C drive basic volume on 2012.

enter image description here

New-NfsShare -Name nfsshare -Path E:\nfsshare -Authentication All `
    -EnableAnonymousAccess:$true -NetworkName $env:COMPUTERNAME `
    -Permission ReadWrite

New-NfsShare : Failed to perform the requested operation.

    I received an email back from the MS storage team ([email protected]) and they confirmed this doesn't work in 2012.

    There is a hotfix that is apparently available from special request to MS - 2777475.

    They said it was fixed in 2012 R2.
