Windows NFS Server Freezes, What Should I Do?

Possible Cause: You are using a wildcard address in your /etc/exports file.

Solution:
  1. Check your /etc/exports file for wildcards.
  2. If wildcards are used in this file, stop all running Cygwin processes, including any Cygwin services, using the Windows Services utility.
  3. Correct the exports file. Refer to Exporting a Root Filesystem via NFS for more information.
  4. After you are done modifying the exports file, restart any Cygwin services that you might have stopped earlier.
