mounting a dos file system

[Dave McCoy]

I have small network at home, my system running freebsd and two other 
systems running windoze. I would like to be able to mount one of the 
logical dos drives on one of the windoze systems so I can transfer files 
to it. Is it possible and how do I go about doing it?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello,

I believe you can do this by installing SMB support. By doing that, you can use
smbutil and mount_smbfs to connect to and mount window shares. All you would
have to do is share each drive you want on the windows machines. Check out
http://www.onlamp.com/lpt/a/1357 for more information.

Hope I've helped.

You don't need Samba to mount a DOS partition on your FreeBSD
machine.  All it needs is a command such as
mount -t msdos /dev/ad1s1 /mnt
where ad1s1 is the name of the partition holding the DOS file
system, and /mnt is a valid, empty directory.

You need Samba if you want to work the other way around; ie
to read and write a FreeBSD filesystem from a Windows machine.

I thought that he was talking about mounting drives from distant machines

 Samba is for sharing FBSD shares on the windows network. There is a port
 for Sharity-Light which makes it real easy to mount your windoze shares.

 shlight //computer_name/share_point /mount_dir
Would this work with Win2000 Professional? - Can Sharity-Light
read and write NTFS, don't you need a server edition?
