Thanks for all the help Guys – I was
going onto the NFS step next, and as I have the Flames NFS’d to my
server, it should be no problem!! Even found out you can use wildcards in your
exports, which saves exporting to each and every machine!
Thanks again
S.
Oh – yeah – Welcome back to
2006 – Happy New Year to everyone!

Taking over
/etc/exports has you nfs
shares in it on the server. Mounting uses the machine name and the path you put
in the exports file on the server.
The rest is a bit hazy.
Cheers,
Alan.

Ok, forgot what I said in the last mail.
It is not working with any FStab settings!
If I open (XSI) or render (XSIBatch) a scene on Linux it is not accessable for
the windows XSI version. No matter which user I use to mount the drive on
linux.
Seems to be a XSI 5.0 bug. The linux version sets a wrong file access flag and
the windows version is not able to read this kind of read-only files...
Perhaps the solution is to use a non-samba mount for the linux machines.
Anybody has some hints to setup a NFS file sharing?
(Ok, perhaps google or a linux forum is a better place to find descriptions)
