Good evening! For your consideration - we need FEEDBACK, please! New is: - 3rd Spring-Release - Improved Windows Extended Attribute (EA) support - Sparse file support (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sparse_file) for HPC environments - Symlink conversion, to make Windows symlinks exchangeable with other NFS clients on other platforms - Windows Server 2019 NFSv4.1 nfsd, Windows Server 2022 NFSv4.1 nfsd, Solaris 11.4 NFSv4.1 nfsd and Illumos NFSv4.2 nfsd support - Better WSL (Windows Services for Linux) support - MSYS2 support - TMPDIR/TMP/TEMP env variables can now point to a NFS filesystem - Windows Storage32 API support, required for using MSI installer files on NFS mounts - Support for languages with wide characters (Japanese, Chinese, Hindi, French...) in nfs://-URLs - Display mount points with wide-characters in nfs_mount.exe correctly Ced P.S.: Thanks go to Roland Mainz&Tigran Mkrtchyan&DESY.de for the ms-nfs41-client work, Corinna Vinschen for adding sparse file support in Cygwin 3.5, and many others who helped with development and testing ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Roland Mainz <roland.ma...@nrubsig.org> Date: Mon, 14 Apr 2025 at 16:24 Subject: [Ms-nfs41-client-devel] ANN: NFSv4.2/NFSv4.1 filesystem client Windows driver binaries for Windows 10/11+WindowsServer 2019/2022 for testing, 2025-04-14 ... To: <ms-nfs41-client-de...@lists.sourceforge.net> Hi! ---- We've created a set of test binaries for the NFSv4.2/NFSv4.1 filesystem client driver for Windows 10 (32+64bit), Windows 11+Windows Server 2019/2022 (64bit), based on https://github.com/kofemann/ms-nfs41-client (commit id #8341f0bf274261312b76573fa713153e24564347, git bundle in tarball), for testing and feedback. ** FULL release readme: - http://www.nrubsig.org/people/gisburn/work/msnfs41client/releases/testing/msnfs41client_cygwin_64bit32bit_binaries_20250414_11h31m_git8341f0b.readme ** Download URL: - http://www.nrubsig.org/people/gisburn/work/msnfs41client/releases/testing/msnfs41client_cygwin_64bit32bit_binaries_20250414_11h31m_git8341f0b.tar.bz2 ** Major changes since the last release: - TMPDIR/TMP/TEMP env variables can now point to a NFS filesystem - NFSv4.2 support, including protocol minor version autonegotiation - Sparse file support (requires NFSv4.2 server { SEEK, ALLOCATE, DEALLOCATE } and the |FATTR4_WORD1_SPACE_USED| attr), including hole/data range enumeration, punching holes etc., e.g. $ fsutil sparse queryrange mysparsefile # - Improved Windows Extended Attribute (EA) support (requires NFS >= v4.1 server with "Named Attribute" support ("OPENATTR")), including create/read/write/delete - Improved WSL support - Support for Storage32-API (e.g. enables use of *.msi installer files on NFS filesystems) - Cygwin /usr/bin/svn and Windows '/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Git/cmd/git' now work - Illumos NFSv4.2 server is now supported - Solaris 11.4 NFSv4.1 server is now supported - Windows Server 2022 NFSv4.1 server is now supported (compared to WS2019 this NFS server version has ACL support) - testing: cthon04 was updated to the newest version, new tests for sparse files etc., new tests for symlinks etc. ** Please send comments, bugs, test reports, complaints etc. to the MailMan mailing list at https://sourceforge.net/projects/ms-nfs41-client/lists/ms-nfs41-client-devel ---- Bye, Roland -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) roland.ma...@nrubsig.org \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 3992797 (;O/ \/ \O;) _______________________________________________ Ms-nfs41-client-devel mailing list ms-nfs41-client-de...@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ms-nfs41-client-devel -- Cedric Blancher <cedric.blanc...@gmail.com> [https://plus.google.com/u/0/+CedricBlancher/] Institute Pasteur -- Cedric Blancher <cedric.blanc...@gmail.com> [https://plus.google.com/u/0/+CedricBlancher/] Institute Pasteur -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
