Cross-mount compatibility FAQ - Apsara File Storage NAS - Alibaba Cloud Documentation Center

This topic describes the compatibility issues that may occur when you mount an SMB file system on Linux or mount an NFS file system on Windows.

Background information

Different from native protocols, cross-platform protocols may not be supported by some platforms. Therefore, compatibility issues may occur. When you mount an SMB file system on Linux or mount an NFS file system on Windows, the stability of the NAS file system cannot be guaranteed. We recommend that you do not mount NAS file systems across incompatible platforms.
