With NFS Server logging enabled, any interaction between the NFS clients and server is written in the NFS log file c:\logging.txt. You should enable NFS Server logging when:

A client fails to mount a PC folder or device from a server, and gets no response from that server.
A client can mount a folder or device from a server, but cannot do anything with the folder or device while getting no error message.
The error message does not clearly indicate whether the problem exists on the server, on the client, or on both systems.

To start NFS Server logging, you must enable both NFS Server logging and Network Event logging.
