Okay, I've just recently started using Linux systems again and
since I have changed my fileserver over to a Mac, I can no longer
access the files from it via Linux. Does anyone on this list know
how to do it over a network? I can access the files just fine from
PC's running Windows as I'm using Sharepoints on the Mac for this
purpose. I always used Samba with Linux when I had the fileserver
running Windows, but the Samba commands no longer work with the Mac
fileserver. Any help appreciated.
OS X supports NFS, SMB and AFP. You need to turn on Windows File
Sharing to enable Samba on OS X..

Agreed, and it works fine for Windows machines, but not for Linux
boxes.
I've mounted my Mac on a Linux system, long time ago, as a test. If I
remember the process I"ll post it. IIRC all I had to do was turn on
Windows file sharing on the Mac, then treat it as if it were a Windows
system. A key is setting the Workgroup name in the SMB settings in
Directory Access
Justin suggested using NFS to export the server drives but I'm having
some problems figuring out what path to put in the exports file.
What would the correct path be for SCSI drives named D, E, F and G?
All mac volumes are mounted at /Volumes but OS X != Linux; you don't
set things up the same way.
You set up NFS exports using Netinfo Manager. But it's kind of
arcane, and I can't find the web page I used to set it up right now.
Here is a utility to make it easier:

Yep, found that page and managed to set one of the drives up just to
see what it would do. Did install the program you linked to and
managed to learn that I had at least set up the drive I originally
tried just fine. The web page that describes the setup process for
Netinfo Manager says you can check to see if the exports are setup by
issuing the showmount -e command, but it just says command not found in
the terminal. Still can't seem to mount the drive from a Linux box on
my network. I even went back and tried to change the smb name I was
using to connect in fstab (wasn't using /Volumes/D), but that made no
difference either. Funny how the network browser in Fedora Core 4 can
see the server (fileserver2) and mount the drives just fine via Samba
that way, but I can't get it setup to do it as it should in fstab.
Thanks for the help.
Just a message from Doug...
