Re: accessing files from mac workstations

[Kirby Clements]

NFS is working great for Jaguar on RedHat 8.0. I just keep buying cheap 
IDE disks for storage, putting them on the linux boxes, and dumping Mac 
files onto them. But, multimedia files will cause problems. An example: 
an iMovie file will keep its QuickTime Movie file of the entire project 
on the timeline, but will completely lose all of the organized clips on 
the timeline that actually made up the movie. This is apparently b/c 
Macintosh machines lose their resource fork info when going to a Linux 
box. So, keep it to text or self-contained multimedia files if you are 
dumping from Mac to Linux, as of right now at least.

Hi Geoff

thanks for the info
i'll be trying this asap
thought, a question : how about sharing the same data (say a given
directory) between PCs with samba, MACs with netatalk, and eventually 
linux
itself (in the case some local programs have to process some data). 
what
about integrity and lock management ?

tia (again)


I've some old mac wks (OS 8.5 and 9.1) which need access to files on 
a
linux machine. at the present time it is already a samba server for 
many
windows boxes
...
is there another way ?


The best option is to use Netatalk on the Linux box with anything 
below OSX
and NFS to talk with OSX machines.
Don't bother with samba to talk to macs, just pc's.

the RPM

Bien sûr que je suis perfectionniste !
Mais ne pourrais-je pas l'être mieux ?
