I am afraid it is not possible to access linux files from windows. Microcrap does not want anyone to use anything but there software.
It might cut into there monopoly if windows could see partitions or files from another operating system.

Linux can see windows partitions and files just fine. But Windows can't and won't see Linux partitions without a special program that is expensive.


UUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHHH where did all that smoke come from.

The jailbait itself has no suitable daemon to be used for mounting, except possibly NFS, but I don't believe that the rasmus image has NFS server support compiled into the kernel. If it does, there are several NFS client programs you can use as a "demo." If you already have an NFS share mounted on your jailbait, you can always run smbd from there.

Doesn't windows offer a unix compatiblity cd? I thought that there was a NFS server included... Maybe its only a client.

Using the ia as an NFS client is easy. The typical mount command is:

mount 1.2.3.4:/remote/share /mnt/localMountPoint -osoft,intr,ro -tnfs

Change the parameters (ro to rw) as necessary.

I have the UNIX compatibility kit saved away here. I will try and install it tommorow to see what it gives.

I've been unable to get samba mounting to work in jailbait thus far, even when I have smbmnt and smbmount installed and the smbfs module loaded. =/ shrug.

This works so well that I had to share it (only in W2K or NT, I think).

Download DiskShare 4.0 (cnet.com has it).

This allows full function NFS file sharing from WinNT or W2K. I am listening to MP3's served from my W2K machine on the IA1 as I type. The only bug that I have found is that the alias function does not seem to work.

Keep up the good hacking,
Raptor

The answer is yes, but it requires some sort of NFS server running on Windows. There are a few of them out there.

But, more importantly, I have to correct that bit of misinformation above.

It IS possible to mount linux drives on Windows machines and vice versa. It's quite easy. You use Samba to do it. Unfortunately, Samba isn't included in the jailbait distro (but NFS is). It's certainly something that should be considered in future distros.

MS puts out a utility called "Interix" (which they bought out. :) ) which will run NFS clients/servers. However, I'm not exactly sure on the availability of it anymore, I havn't heard anything about it in a LONG time.
