Thank you for your reply.

My Windows server is the Server for NFS and the client is the Linux1 which has the Windows share mounted. Your instructions relates if the Windows server is the client. Can it still be done as a Windows being the NFS server?

---------- Post updated at 03:48 PM ---------- Previous update was at 03:38 PM ----------

Browsing the registry in Windows, I found the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ServerforNFS\CurrentVersion\Exports\0

Changing the RestrictChown from value 0 to 1 may do the trick. It will restrict any changes to the ownership but allowing changes to the NFS share. I'll need to reboot the server and see if it works.

I also had the problem that the rsync not only caused the change of ownership but wiped the permissions completely. It may fix that problem as well.

showmount

SHOWMOUNT(8)						      System Manager's Manual						      SHOWMOUNT(8)

NAME

       showmount - show mount information for an NFS server

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/showmount [ -adehv ] [ --all ] [ --directories ] [ --exports ] [ --help ] [ --version ] [ host ]

DESCRIPTION

       showmount  queries  the	mount  daemon on a remote host for information about the state of the NFS server on that machine.  With no options
       showmount lists the set of clients who are mounting from that host.  The output from showmount is designed to appear as though it were pro-
       cessesed through ``sort -u''.

OPTIONS

       -a or --all
	      List both the client hostname and mounted directory in host:dir format.

       -d or --directories
	      List only the directories mounted by some client.

       -e or --exports
	      Show the NFS server's export list.

       -h or --help
	      Provide a short help summary.

       -v or --version
	      Report the current version number of the program.

       --no-headers
	      Suppress the descriptive headings from the output.

SEE ALSO

       rpc.mountd(8), rpc.nfsd(8)

BUGS

       The completeness and accurary of the information that showmount displays varies according to the NFS server's implementation.

       Because showmount sorts and uniqs the output, it is impossible to determine from the output whether a client is mounting the same directory
       more than once.
