NFS Share is Reachable by Clients Although the Disk Resource Associated with the Share has been removed on Microsoft Windows Server 2008 SP2 and R2

SYMPTOMS

Consider the following scenario:

·         Windows Server 2008 R2 Failover Cluster configured with a File Server group.

·         The File Server group contains one or more disks configured with only NFS shares.

·         You have removed the disk resource from the File Server group assosicated with the NFS shares

·         The NFS share resource, associated with the removed disk, is still mounted and accessible by NFS Client Machines. 

In this scenario, the client machines can connect to the NFS share, but they are not able to make any changes. Also, the resources associated with the NFS file share group will failover until the configured policy limit has been reached.

CAUSE

This behavior is expected. The NFS share resources are not automatically removed when the disk resource is removed.

RESOLUTION

Before removing the disk resource, it is recommended that administrators remove or disable the NFS share resource associated with that disk.
