Harendra, The nfs-server package hasn't been released yet - discussions about it should probably go to the cygwin-apps mailing list, so I've redirected this message there for sake of continuity.
Keep in mind you're running a user mode NFS server on top of a Unix layer on top of another operating system entirely :-/ While I intend to do whatever I can to improve things, I doubt it will ever even get close to the performance of a kernel-mode Linux server. One suggestion - check your NT event log for messages from nfsd. Permissions issues can cause a *lot* of error messages to crop up in the log. For now, you can avoid the majority of these by explicitly setting the uid/gid to be used by clients mounting the export, ex: /some_export (rw,all_squash,anonuid=501,anongid=546) -Samrobb > -----Original Message----- > From: Harendra Kumar [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, January 09, 2003 10:01 AM > To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' > Cc: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'; Raghavan > Subject: Universal NFS Server is terribly slow through cygwin > > > Hi, > > I am using the Cygwin version of the universal NFS Server.
