Re: accessing files from mac workstations
Nice :) I will be trying to set that up today then. I have been looking for a solution to multimedia space issues for over a week now.

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.

Yup, Dave, from Thursby Software. > is there a nfs client ? ? Yup. I think it's from Thursby as well. > is there another way ? netatalk is what we use here. Make the server look like an Apple server rather than make the clients look like a PC. -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
Re: accessing files from mac workstations
i will suggest the use of netatalk for osX as well as older versions. osX's implimentation (i was using 10.0) is retardedly designed and is more trouble than it's worth.
