What about AFP?
Authored by: robleach on Oct 17, '03 07:17:20PM
This was such a great tip for mounting remote NFS volumes. I have half a dozen mounts set up at work. However, now at home, I have 3 computers and just got an airport base station and I'd like to mount disks in various directions and have one home directory on one of the disks.

I tried setting it up in the same manner I did those NFS ones, but of course it didn't work. I hadn't expected it would. I tried making type=AFP instead of NFS in netinfo.

The obvious impediment is that I don't know how to allow a remote machine to mount local disks. i was able to figure that out on the remote NFS machines, but on my Mac, I'm at a loss. is that all I need to make this work - just figure out how to allow remote machines to mount local disks?

I assume that that's what also prevents me from being able to mount manually:
[dsl###-###-###:/home] robleach% sudo mount -t afp afp://robleach@###.###.###.###:/Volumes/disk2 /home/disk2

mount_afp: AFPMountURL returned error -1, errno is -50
[dsl###-###-###:/home] robleach% sudo mount -t afp afp://robleach:mypassword@###.###.###.###:/Volumes/disk2 /home/disk2
kextload: extension /System/Library/Filesystems/AppleShare/asp_tcp.kext is already loaded
kextload: extension /System/Library/Filesystems/AppleShare/asp_atp.kext is already loaded
kextload: extension /System/Library/Filesystems/AppleShare/afpfs.kext is already loaded
mount_afp: AFPMountURL returned error -5019, errno is 2
Any suggestions?
