So you want to mount the linux drive on hdb on a remote computer while the host computer is in Linux? Well, yes and no. No because Windows doesn't understand ext2 filesystems or NFS. (Without extra drivers anyway.) Yes because a ext2 filesystem driver for windows is at http://www.yipton.demon.co.uk/content.html (Win95, search google for other windows versions.) and because Linux understands SMB. You should note that there is no security with the ext2fs for windows drivers, so you can see everything. (maybe not a good idea if the windows box isn't secure!) but the driver is read only so no damage can really be done. -- Andy Zbikowski, Sys Admin | (WEB) http://www.ltiflex.com LTI Flexible Products, Inc. | (PH) 763-428-9119 (EX) 132 21801 Industrial Blvd | (FX) 763-428-9126 Rogers, MN 55374 | (PCS) 612-306-6055
