[MiNT] File transfers over LAN

[milarb@volny.cz (Bohdan Milar)]

Hello,

I have one TT030, two Falcon030 (all MiNT 1.15.12) and a Linux-box (RH80).
I have my personal data directory tree on a SCSI HDD in the TT.
I would like to:

a) share these data from the other machines.

b) maintain always up to date copy of the tree on the Linux box.

My question is: Which protocol to use for the mentioned tasks?

I tried FTP, but:
- it changes date of the copy
- the destination fs is not mounted as local, so 'diff' and 'cp -u' do not work


I tested Samba, but:
- SharityLight does not work for me

root@TeTrev/root>shlight //tucnak/milarb /home/tucnak -C
Password:
error connecting to server: [25] Invalid argument

this is /var/log/samba/tetrev.log from the Linux

I tried xfs, but:
- I am unable to mount Linux fs from TT (mount TT from Linux is OK):

root@TeTrev/root>mount_nfs tucnak:/home/milarb /home/tucnak/
do_nfs_mount: RPC: Timed out
mount_nfs: could not do NFS mount

- I am unable to mount Falcon fs from TT (mount Falcon from Linux is OK):

root@TeTrev/root>mount_nfs sokol:/root /home/tucnak/
do_nfs_mount: mount request to kernel failed
mount_nfs: could not do NFS mount

- I have serious problems with TT fs mounted from Linux:

Incorrect work with GEMDOS partitions:
* slow proving of directory changes, when cahnged on TT
* problems with attributes (unable to change owner - error 13)
* problems with temporary files during overwrite (unable to make backup copy)
* sometimes the transfered files are not complete !

Problems with Ext2 (on TT side):
* unable to write onto the partition even if (rw) is in /etc/exports and there
are access rights drwxrwxrwx to the target directory and I am root on both sides.


Best regards,

Bohdan Milar
