Mounting NFS partitions over AppleTalk using netatalk
Problem
<![CDATA[
I'm running Mandrake 7.0Ê (kernel 2.2.14-15), and netatalk-1.4b2.Ê I
have an NTFS partition mounted that I wish to share over Appletalk. The
server name appears in the chooser, and the volume is listed when I log
on. However when I click on it it says that the attempted connection
failed.Ê AÊ shared ext2fs partition on the same machine mounts just fine
on the mac.Ê Is it not possible for netatalk to mount NTFS partitions
over AppleTalk, just ext2fs?Ê Would it be better for me to use the
in-built kernel support that I have not, as yet, tried?
I have looked thru' the READMEs, netatak web site and HOWTOs but not
seen an answer. Can anyone help?
Thanks.

Answer
<![CDATA[Chances are that your NTFS parition is read-only (AFAIK the latest status of the NTFS driver on Linux).
Netatalk seems to need writing .AppleDouble dirs to be able to share something correctly. Maybe have a look at the problems related to CD-sharing
on this list, and have a try!
