Windows – NFS mount in Windows – can’t copy files with 600 permissions

file-permissionsnetappnfswindows

I have a Netapp with some NFS exports for VMware storage. I want to mount the snapshots on a Windows 2012 R2 server in order to copy all of the virtual machine files to tape. I can mount the share just fine, but I can only copy some of the files. They have various permissions; some are 600, some are 644, and some are 755. It's the 600 ones that I cannot copy. I get an error in Windows when trying to copy those. The other files copy just fine. I've tried various options in the mount command, but to no avail. I'm pretty sure it's not an option to change the file permissions. Is there any other solution?

Instead of using Windows to mount VMWare VM files, I'd just use the Netapp to directly write to tape.

Copy File Owner Permissions to Group – How to Do It

you can use g=u to make the group perms the same as the user perms

ls -l file
-rw------- 1 user users 0 Jun 27 13:47 file

chmod g=u file

ls -l file
-rw-rw---- 1 user users 0 Jun 27 13:47 file

and recursively

chmod -R g=u *

or for some filespec

find /patch/to/change/perms -name '*.txt' -exec chmod g=u {} +

the chmod manpage is your friend.
