Did you create a Windows (CIFS) Share or NFS Mount ?

ASKER

it is NFS.
This is the issue, Linux supports NFS, Windows does not out of the box!

Create a Windows CIFS Share.
Folder created is visible on Linux but not in windows.
Is there any way we can create a mount for both the user. We have both Linux and windows user who would be accessing same share.
If you have created a NFS mount, and you require access from Linux and Windows, you will need to use an application for Windows, which can mount NFS.

NFS is to Unix/LInux, as Windows Shares (CIFS) are to Windows.

You will need to install and use an NFS Client for Windows, OR create a Windows Share on your NetApp Filer.

Exceed is one NFS Client for Windows.
