RE: NFS mount -- MIDRANGE-L

I knew this might be a can u can't u route.
Without ploughing thru the MS doco, this appears to mean I should do a mount on the Window box.
But does this also require a mount on the i5 and/or starting a special system server?

According to Microsoft, Server 2008R2 supports both client and server roles for NFS.

Windows does not support NFS "out of the box". You would have to buy some NFS software for Windows and install it, or find suitable NFS freeware, shareware or "open source" equivalent, and install and use that.

So that I can use the IFS on the i5 I would like to mount the SQL
server

using the MOUNT command but need some advice as this is new to me.

The MOUNT cmd has the format MOUNT TYPE(*NFS) MFS(?????)
MNTOVRDIR(??????) and I need to know what to specify for MFS and
MNTOVRDIR

The host name of the SQL Server box is nzaklgl-db601.corp.bayadv which
can be pinged from the i5 and returns an IP address of 10.9.64.65 If I
log on to the SQL Server machine and look at the drives via Windows
Explorer I see the following

Computer
OS(C:)
Data(F:)
Logs(H:)
Work(I:)
Backup(K:)
...
...

I figure that I need a folder in one of these drives to be the target
of

the MOUNT.

So what do I specify for MFS and MNTOVRDIR?
