Data Share no support for Azure Blob Storage with restrcited network (for NFSv3)?

Tilo 16

Hi,

seems we can't map the data share to a target which is a NFSv3 enabled Azure Blob Storage.
Please clarify.

This page doesn't mention anything https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/azure-docs/blob/main/articles/data-share/supported-data-stores.md about such a restriction.

Then I try to change my Storage account with NFSv3 to Public I get this warning: NFS v3 is enabled for this storage account. Setting network access to 'all networks' will cause network access using this protocol to fail.

Thanks, Tilo

Hi Tilo ,

Azure Data Share currently does not support NFSv3 enabled Azure Blob Storage as a target. This limitation is the reason you cannot map the data share to this type of storage account.

When you enable NFSv3 on a storage account, it requires specific network configurations. Setting network access to 'all networks' will disable NFSv3 protocol access because NFSv3 relies on secure network configurations, typically within a virtual network. This is why you receive the warning when attempting to change the network access settings.

If you need to use NFSv3, ensure that your storage account is within a virtual network and that network security settings are properly configured. If you need broader network access, you might need to reconsider using NFSv3 for that particular storage account.

I hope this information helps! Let us know if you have any further questions. We will be glad to assist you further.
