Windows 7 install hangs over NFS

Hi folks,

I'm new to ESXi. I've installed 5.1, along with the network driver, on a 2011 Mac mini. The first thing I did was setup a NFS share in my synology DS412+ and added it as a datastore. I then created a Win 7 VM on this datastore, and started installing windows.

All seems to be well until after the installer has 'Installed Features' where it stops, and nothing happens. I've left it overnight and nothing. Installing to the local hard drive and not using NFS works perfectly.

Any ideas?

If anyone was interested in the outcome of this, it was a bug in the Synology NAS which has now been fixed.

Thanks
