I?ve got a little problem setting up a fileserver with SuSE Linux 6.0. The hard- and software ist installed properly, but all my important data is on a 13GB-FAT32-harddisk which is currently located in one of my Win98-Workstations. Is there any possibility to mount this harddrive into my Linux System? The computers are connected through a 100Mbit/s-Intranet. But the network?s working fine, thats not the prob.
Hi Gerrit,
You could do two things: 1.Make your Linux server a Samba server and transfer your files onto to it 2.Install the harddrive of your Windows machine physically in your Linux machine and mount the FAT32 partitions and optionally transfer the files to the Linux-partitions.
Since I'm almost positive that smbfs was included as a module in 6.0 I would say the easiest option would be to share your harddrive from Win98, create a /win98 directory on your Linux box, and use smbmount from the Linux box to mount it. Check man smbmount for the options as I'm not home on my Linux box at the moment.

This is what I like about this list! Ask a question and you always end up with the best answer. Transferring the files to your Linuxbox is best done with the last solution: mount the FAT partitions with smbmount. (Still, if you want to use the linuxbox as a fileserver for Windows clients you need Samba). Thanks Greg, for reminding me of this option.
