Title: e-uae and real hard drives
Post by: Heiroglyph on October 25, 2010, 12:54:57 AM
Did e-uae on Linux ever properly support real Amiga hard drives?

I'm trying to set up 0.8.28 and I can neither get it to work, nor find references to anything but using CDRoms.

Thanks

I've only ever gotten directories to mount as disks under E-UAE. WinUAE does run under Wine (some caveats apply, you'll probably find them as quickly as I did), so you might get away with that, but I couldn't say for sure.

I had to recheck the dates in this thread.  Why use 0.8.28?  E-UAE 0.8.29-WIP has been available since 2006.

In any event, I haven't done it myself but it should be as easy as adding a line or two to your .uaerc file and changing permissions for the device in /dev.  For example:
Code: [Select]

hardfile2=rw,:/dev/hdb,0,0,0,512,0,
hardfile=rw,0,0,0,512,/dev/hdb



And then, assuming /dev is dynamically populated by udev, for your /etc/udev/rules.d/*permissions.rules file:
Code: [Select]

# You are in the "mark" group, right?  :-)
KERNEL=="hdb",            MODE="0660",    GROUP="mark"



If you've already tried that sort of thing without success, then I'd suggest upgrading to 0.8.29-WIP4 and trying again.

Bingo!  That's what I was looking for, I couldn't quite make out how it was supposed to look in the config file.

I'm using .28 because I had some problems building .29WIP.

I went back to a "stable" version to get a few things straight first.

Since I posted the question, I've moved to the latest version.

I'm running latest version of e-uae for osx but can't get it to mount a physical drive connect by usb on /dev/rdisk1

Can anyone help me?

Sorry, I don't use OSX but does E-UAE have adequate permission to read and write  /dev/rdisk1?
