Mounted Drive isn't Visible in File Explorer
Learn how to troubleshoot an issue where a mounted drive isn't visible on a file system mounted using Windows NFS.
Before proceeding with troubleshooting, be sure to implement the following prerequisites for connecting to file systems from Windows instances:
- Install the NFS Client. Follow the installation procedure found in Mounting File Systems From Windows Instances.
- Set up security rules to work with File Storage. Follow the procedure found in Configuring VCN Security Rules for File Storage
Symptom: After installing Windows NFS client, you can successfully mount the file system from Windows, but the file system drive isn't visible in File Explorer.
Cause: A standard user is trying to access a file system that was mounted using the Administrator: Command Prompt (CMD). When mounting file systems, it isn't necessary to run the Command Prompt as Administrator.
Solution: Unmount the file system and then remount the file system using a standard Command Prompt (CMD). See To remount a file system with a standard Command Prompt (CMD).
