If the latter, then yes, it will support fat32 partitions >for reading and writing, but you must roll your own do enable the >filesystem or initialize the module.

[SuSE Linux] Another SAMBA problem
by toftd001＠hawaii.rr.com 04 Jan '99

04 Jan '99

I've searched the samba site, read the FAQ. I guess I have an infrequently asked question. I have samba running on my Linux server. The server's CD-ROM is shared. I noticed if a win95 client maps the CD-ROM "folder" to a drive letter, I can not umount the CD-ROM. Even after the drive letter is unmapped, I cannot umount the CD. How to I unmount the CD-ROM? Stopping samba, then restarting it seems fairly brutish, and I would prefer to use a more elegant method.

[SuSE Linux] how to boot SuSE 5.3 cd from SCSI cdrom?
by hvarela＠lonestar.utsa 04 Jan '99

04 Jan '99

I looked over the install manual, but nothing except "you may need to copy over to hard drive and install from there if your SCSI adapter is not supported..." I have an Advansys 940 UW that is supported by RedHat, and a Toshiba SCSI CDROM. Do I just need to specify the device, as in "/dev/scd0" when the message comes out "cannot mount CD!" and try again? I am right now searching SuSE SDB for more info...

[SuSE Linux] NCP Problems
by tbri＠fint.no 04 Jan '99

04 Jan '99

Hello! I have some problems with the NCP filing system. The first one is that I get a lot of NCP timeout messages. The second one is that M$ Visual C seemes to have problems with using the reexported Netware volume (see below), it keeps complaining that it is unable to write to it when compiling, even tho' saving files for example works. Now, it has got to be said that the way I do things is a little special. I use import the Netware volumes to my Linux server, and then exports them as shares using Samba. But I feel sure that Samba is not the problem, because after copying the files onto a ext2fs directory which is a share, everything works very well (even with MSVC) -- so I conclude that NCP must be the problem. Have anybody got any experiences to share with using NCP???

Hope this helps. Thanks very much. This was a great help. Not only did it help me solve the problem I had but it gave just enough info so I had to do some investigating myself. So I also learned about rctab, killproc, using head to get the pid of a program from the /var/run directory and how the /sbin/init.d directory hangs together to control things. After I created my /sbin/init.d/xfstt script I wanted to add it to runlevels 1, 2 & 3. It looked as though I could do this using the following rctab command rctab -i xfstt -1 -2 -3 but this gave me an error (that I never wrote down) saying something about pcmcia, which I don't have compiled into my kernel. Was this command I used correct? In any case I got my script in by using 'rctab -e' so my problem is solved. Cheers.
