OSX NFS
OSX 10.4 Tiger is not an ideal operating system in which to run an NFS server. Well, at least not yet. I suppose that I'll continue to try and find the /exports syntax (or whatever it is this ex-BSD platform uses) but in the meantime, I did find a step-by-step guide which had me bring up, of all things, a GUI.
*le sigh*
The GUI was more difficult to understand than any command line I've used (outside of, let's say AIX *eyeroll*) and in the end I would NOT have been able to accomplish this task without the HOWTO. Either way, bask upon what you would assume would be an easy task -
On my Solaris box:
[root@quark: /]# df -k
Filesystem kbytes used avail capacity Mounted on
/dev/md/dsk/d0 33919014 11382953 22196871 34% /
/proc 0 0 0 0% /proc
mnttab 0 0 0 0% /etc/mnttab
fd 0 0 0 0% /dev/fd
swap 2506288 24 2506264 1% /var/run
BorgQueen:/Volumes/iTunes
156144848 50469280 105675568 33% /iTunes
On my mac:
BorgQueen:/ ehowton$ showmount -e
Exports list on localhost:
/Volumes/iTunes 192.168.1.73 192.168.1.73
So using my Ampache PHP app, I add a new 'catalog' as a local filesystem pointing to my new NFS mount - it sees it, but not the 1251 directories underneath it. Hmmmm. I input the following three words into my Google search: ampache itunes NFS. Guess what the first hit is? My Xanga cross-post blog entry from last week! This could be a long, hard battle.
An Ampache thread in the FAQ validates my claim of NFS issues.
Anyone know what the unscrambled word for a moth's eye-spots are using the letters 'CCELIRS?' C'mon, I know there's some budding entomologists out there. I couldn't find any reference, and this is supposed to be at a 3rd grade level...
