I finished installing FreeNAS 9.1.1 on a BIY computer last week. I can access the NAS from Windows 8 as \\FreeNAS\nas, and I can assign a drive letter, say Y:, to \\FreeNAS\nas using Windows Explorer. But, the Windows command "dir Y:\" fails with the error "The system cannot find the path specified." Dir \\FreeNAS\nas works. In Windows Explorer under drive letter Y:, I can see all directories created on the NAS and all files copied to it and can cut and paste files to it. The NAS will let me copy files to it using xcopy as long as I refer to it as \\FreeNAS\nas, but not Y:\.
I set up an account CElliott, both user and Group, on the NAS. There is one ZFS volume, with owner CElliott and with every possible permission set. The CIFS share also assigns every possible permission to that account, including guest access. When assigning the drive letter in Windows 8, I have tried the user name credential CElliott, FreeNAS\CElliott and Unix Group\CElliott. The drive letter is created, but the drive is not accessible using Y:\ from programs or the DOS prompt.
Can someone please tell me how to make assigning a drive letter to a FreeNAS ZFS volume under Windows 8 work?
