Re: General Mounting question
Yes, you can do this. You'll need to know the drive number (e.g. hda6, etc.) and then you can use the mount command (do a 'man mount') you can also set this drive up in /etc/fstab Drew Nick Texidor wrote: Sorry for the slightly off-topic post, although it does involve Macs! :^) Is it possible to access Mac shared volumes from Linux?

Re: General Mounting question
Thanks Drew, But this is only of it's connected to the powerbook right? The scenario I have about 10 gigs of MP3 on a 60gb external firewire drive connected to the G4 running Mac OS9. On my Powerbook (Mandrake 8.2 beta), I'd like to mount the firewire drive, across the network, so that I can access the MP3's, I don't want to physically connect the drive.

Re: General Mounting question
Thanks Ben. I have looked at netatalk in the past, although I didn't get very far with it. I think it's mainly used to let a Linux machine appear in the Mac's chooser so that a Mac user can mount linux drives and use the printers. I'm not sure if it's bidirectional though, I couldn't figure out how to mount the mac's drives on the linux box.
