Hi guys,
Not sure which list are these questions belongs to,
so I send it to both the development list and macos-x-server list.
I've been trying to share a filesystem (not HFS+ or NFS) via AFP on my xserve,
which is running MacOSX server 10.3.5.
After reading some postings on the macos-x-server list,
I found out that there are 3 ways of doing this.
1. Using the share facility in Workgroup Manager.
If I use this facility to create a sharepoint on my filesystem, it will not get published.
But if the sharepoint was on an HFS+ filesystem, it will get published.
2. Using third party tool, such as SharePoints, to modify the netinfo database.
Same thing as number one. It only works on HFS+ filesystem but not on my own filesystem.
3. I read something about remounting nfs share over AFP.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107077
I created /nfs_reshares directory and mount my filesystem within that
directory. I opened up Workgroup Manager and found that my filesystem or the nfs_reshares
directory are not published in Share->All, thus I can't set a sharepoint for it.
However, if I do this with NFS filesystem, the NFS filesystem will show up in
Share->All and I can set a sharepoint for it. This sharepoint will then get published.
So my questions are:
1. Why do we need to create a special directory (nfs_reshares) to
export an NFS mount via AFP?
2. If that was a special thing that Apple do to export NFS mounts over AFP, is that
mean there is no chance to export other non-Apple filesystem via AFP?
3. Anybody ever tried to export ext2fs or other filesystem via AFP before?
Thanks,
Herry
