Share EFS Block among Several Linux and Windows Instances

932 views Asked by At

I need a place where my Linux instances (Around 5) and a Single Windows instance can read/write from/to. I thought of using an EFS block and it works well for Linux instances. I can mount it on more than one Linux instance and they can all work well together. But I need to share the same EFS block to a Windows Instance and as per the official AWS documentation, EFS Blocks are not supported on Windows.

So, is it possible that I mount my EFS Block on a directory on Linux Instances and then Share that directory with my Windows instance via Samba?

If not then what are my alternatives?

A bit of a necro-thread, but Windows Server includes a native NFS client which can be enabled as a Feature.

There are a couple of registry values which can set the default UID/GID for files on the share.
