I am trying to set up our system to execute "share /mnt/amiga" upon booting
up. I understand that the command should go in /etc/dfs/dfstab but I can't
seem to get the syntax right. I have tried:
share /mnt/amiga
share -F s5 /mnt/amiga
share -F nfs /mnt/amiga
non of these worked, when I log in as root and type "share" it doesn't list
any directories. So I have to do it manually, what am I doing wrong?
Also, this /mnt/amiga is a directory that we are using as an AmigaDos
partition for our LAN. The problem is that the s5 filesystem has a 14 char
limit which is too small for many AmigaDos files. I have been told that I
could mount a ufs partition and use that, but that there are still some
bugs in it. Is this true under 1.1? Do I need to create the partition,
then create a directory and mount the partition to the directory, then use
the directory as by shareable one for TCP/IP?
I noticied that I should even be able to mount an AmigaDos partition to a
directory on Amix, could I use this as our shared partition for TCP/IP with
the AmigaDos machines? Would this bypass the 14 character limit of the
standard file system?
Thanks,
-Jason-
