NFS on Windows host through FreeNFS or similar 3rd party server

[Wojciech Zawistowski]

I know that NFS is not supported natively on Windows, but there are 3rd pary NFS servers (e.g. FreeNFS - http://sourceforge.net/projects/freenfs/, and other).

I've tried to mount shared folder via NFS using FreeNFS, but I can't make it work. The official Vagrant documentation says that NFS doesn't work on Windows - but was it intended to mean that NFS doesn't work on Windows natively, out-of-the-box, or that Vagrant doesn't even try to use NFS when on Windows, even if NFS is mounted via tool like FreeNFS?

If the second one (doesn't even try) is the case, it would be really cool to unlock this behavior, as shared folders without NFS are painfully slow (on the side of completely unusable). Or are there any technical reasons making unlocking this on Windows impossible?

Or maybe Vagrant should work with FreeNFS and I'm doing some configuration mistake?

Please share your opinion on this.

Thanks

We realy need a plugin for that...
Plugin or any type of support.

Windows 7 Ultimate suport NFS... But, only Ultimate (o Server Version)

I am in a similar situation as Wojciech.  As anyone actually implemented this plugin and seen a better response time from the VM?  I have tried with multiple NFS servers and while I could manually mount a share from the VM I never saw a performance boost.  Admittedly, I have little, ok no, experience with NFS before trying this plugin.  So the possibility exists that I did not implement it correctly.

Has anyone used this plugin to increase performance in the VM?  If so would you please share your vagrant file, or some comments on how you accomplished it.  I would so love our windows devs to experience the response time the same VM gives when on a Mac host.

Thanks
