Getting a shared drive on Amiga Workbench

NFS is easier than you think  ;-)

You just need support for it in the kernel, and then a simple line in /etc/exports to export your home dir.

Then use ch_nfsmount on the miggy to get the share on your wb. (You also need a line somewhere on a file for amitcp, cant really remember).

If you're interested, I can take a look on my setup and let you know how exactly to do it.

Thanks, didnt know that ;-)

I've since got it in my kernel and forgot about it. Anyway:

@irishmike

Install NFS server at either kernel or using user-space utilities. Then in /etc/exports add a line:

/home/user/ 192.168.0.0/16(rw,no_root_squash,anonuid=1000,sync)

(I've allowed all my internal network to be able to mount it)

Then on the miggy:

Add a line in AMITCP:db/ch_nfstab:

SERVERIP:/home/user VOLUMENAME: USER username MAX_WRITESIZE 1024

And then run: ch_nfsmount VOLUMENAME:

That's all, the VOLUMENAME: should then appear on your wb.

You might find that you need to mess around with some options on the ch_nfstab file to get it right.
