Is it possible to mount a webdav share on windows as something other than FAT?

1k Views Asked by At

I have an apache server running on Linux. I have the dav module enabled. When I am on my windows computer, I mount it as a network drive. However, it shows the filesystem as FAT. Is there a way to change that to either NTFS or something else that will display the disk size correctly and speed up the file transfers?

If windows shows the filesystem as FAT, it simply means that there's a bug in Windows. When windows talks to the webdav server, it's neither FAT nor NTFS. It's talking 'WebDAV', and the underlying storage mechanism is hidden and irrelevant.
