What problems are you experiencing? I know I just keep getting "Invalid argument" ...

I get the exact same troubles when I try to mount my Windows 2000 shares to my TiVo.

Any ideas?

I don't think this is going to work for Windows 2000.

The smbfs is for the 2.1.24 kernel -- about two years old. That was a development, not a production kernel. There wasn't a lot that worked in that kernel. There were kernel changes that dramatically effected the smbfs module code in the 2.1.40 series. Realize, this kernel didn't go into production until the 2.1.130's. Trying to backport the current smbfs source would be futile.

Note that current kernels (i.e. >2.2.18) seem to support W2K without problems.

Along the way, Microsoft has "improved" their smb protocol many times in order to assure incompatibility with samba, which would be a feature.

The only hope I had was for a list of changes to make W2K work with the current smbfs, and try to just backport those features. I couldn't find such a list.

Fixing this is beyond my capabilities. Sorry.

Does anyone know of a good NFS server to use in W2K? There seem to be a lot of people using this OS, and that's about the only hope.

I tried the dual NFS server from http://www.xlink.com and was able to have Tivo mount to a Win2000 NTFS share. I could copy a few files from Tivo to Win2000 ok, but could not get ExtractStream to stream over this mount point. Microsoft has an add-on NFS server but it looks a bit bulky. I guess I'll give that a try next.

Can anyone recommend a light weight NFS service for Win2000?

TivoJoe,

Try WarNFSD (from the author of WarFTPD). I've used it and it works great so far. It is available at:

I'm trying WarNFSD on Win2000 NTFS, WARNFSD shows a successful mount, but my Tivo returns an error:

My Mount:
mount 10.1.1.2:/contents /var/tmp/mnt
Tivo Error: fs type nfs not supported by kernel

What mount command are you using on Tivo?

TivoJoe,

Did you load the NFS module on your TiVo before running the mount command?

Download the appropriate NFS module from 9thtee.com at:
http://www.9thtee.com/tivonetusage.htm#DOWNLOADS

Copy the file to your TiVo, and load it by running (for 2.0.1):
insmod -f nfs-2.0.1.o

Then run the mount command:
mount 192.168.1.2:/temp /var/tmp/mnt

If the mount fails, try running it a few times and it should work. Also, make sure your permissions are set correctly in the exports.conf file.

WarNFSD works perfectly on Win2000 NTFS.

Thanks!
