Why not nfs?
Authored by: Smackeron on Mar 07, '02 01:36:52AM

You can also use nfs to share your linux files to to a OS X box. Since Linux and OS X are unix based OS's nfs might even be faster/better. You can even get the permissions and users/groups to match up..but you may have to edit the user/group ID's on one of the machines...

Why not nfs?
Authored by: jg167 on Mar 28, '02 12:25:27PM

I have no problems nfs mounting an exported dir from a solaris box on MacOS X, but I have not been able to get such to work mounting an exported dir from a Linux host. I've tired kernels 2.2.14 and 2.4.17 and both seem to work on the mac side in that the mount does not return an error. But the mount also does not actually work, the mounted-on dir ends up in a funny state where any access ges an "operation not permited" error and df does not list the mount.

any ideas?
