Thanks.

Perhaps the foloowing question is off-topic.

------------------------------

NFS Client runs on UNIX.
Cygwin NFS Server runs on Windows.


How to specify the device (Windows-directory/folder) to be mounted on
mount point (UNIX-directory)?


The problem is how to set the pathname of the exported file system on
Windows NFS Server.


For UNIX NFS Server the pathname might be set as it follows
<IP address of UNIX machine>:/dir1/dir2


For instance, Windows machine contains folder C:\folder1\folder2 that
is to be exported.
How to set the pathname? What to do with "C:"?


Should
<IP address of UNIX machine>:C:\folder1\folder2
work?
