After configuring the network interfaces, we are not able to copy data using NFS. We are getting the error: "NFS Access Settings: Could not find the share storageaccountname_BlockBlob" when we try to add an NFS client IP address. So, looks like the NFS service is not running on the databox. SMB is working fine though, but we need to copy using NFS.

Anonymous2025-09-11T10:32:58.17+00:00 Thanks for your question on the Microsoft Q&A portal!
To help us investigate and resolve this for you quickly, could you please provide a few additional details:
- What type of storage account are you using?
- Have you confirmed that NFS is enabled on your specific storage account?
- Is the NFS client you are using able to access the Azure Blob storage account from its current network environment?
- What is the exact command or steps you are using to add the NFS client IP address?
- Are you sure you are configuring NFS access settings on the correct resource (e.g., specific Data Box device or storage account)?
Looking forward to your response so we can assist you further.
Thanks,
Pranitha

Thanks again!
