Just Outta Paranoia, Wouldnt mounting these smb shares with windows (map \\blah\blahshare\ to Q: or something) solve this? because they simply report a [NULL] file for me... i use xp-pro-sp2 with my zaurus' smb share...
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ mount Z:\Home on /zaurus-home type system (binmode) C:\WINDOWS\TEMP on /tmp type system (binmode) \\Zaurus-smb\gunwars on /gunwars type system (binmode) C:\Cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (binmode, nounmount) C:\Cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (binmode, nounmount) C:\Cygwin on / type system (binmode, nounmount) A: on /cygdrive/a type system (textmode) C: on /cygdrive/c type system (textmode) X: on /work/ type system(binmode) Z is a windows share mount (Tools -> mount network share) to my zaurus, while \\Zaurus-smb\gunwars\ is a hidden share that for whatever reason windows cant seem to login to (windows keeps capitalizing the string for some reason -- even if i set the case in smb.conf to upper it still rejects it blah blah blah. so i use cygwin.) Whenever my zaurus is off I get about 2 minutes of HANG, showing lots of network activity from ls, and then the "reading directory /: No such file or directory" error. unmounting the gunwars mount fixes this. it seems that windows can handle it when using its mounts... as shown here: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ ls /zaurus/ -r--r--r-- 0 None None 0 Jan 1 1989 [NULL] *turn on zaurus* [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ ls /zaurus/ -rwxrwxrwx Pheonix users 103 Dec 13 2007 finger-links.txt drwxr--r- Pheonix users 0 Dec 22 2007 lolcat-archive/ [snip] please note that because i dont like the mode indicators, i modified the ls source to strip those (thats why they look different... i'm used to a more debian/linux like shell... so are my scripts) also, any idea on using an old XIDat tape reader? -- Morgan gangwere Please Excuse TOFU.
