Mounting a disk in Windows (not samba)?

Question

Samba

There are 2 servers located in the same local network and supporting the operation of one workspace, due to the deployment features, it is necessary that the application on server No. 2 read the cache\folder with cache, etc. on server No. 1
Samba is not suitable, tftp is also
necessary Somehow to mount disk so that the path is like that of a local disk (C:\folder) because in samba he sees it as a ball (\\adress\)
Is there something on the mind of the Khaborovites?

Answer 1

If you need to mount it as a directory on the system drive, then only one option is to mount a disk from an image (windows pro and higher revisions are able, you mount a disk image using samba) or a block device (iscsi, or aoe, if you are ready to allocate a separate network device and vlan for it, there is an even simpler nbd, but I didn’t find drivers for windows for it)
Otherwise, you won’t be able to mount network drives to the directory
ps there is also gvfs (this is FUSE but for windows) it costs) but it will not be fast

Answer 2

iSCSI.

Answer 3

because in samba he sees it as a ball (\\adress\)

net use z: \\adress\
