Not sue what you mean. Get a screwdriver. Switch off computer A. open the
case. unplug the hard drive from both the poser supply and the bus. undo
the screws and remove the hard drive. Reverse these on the second computer.

Is that what you meant? Or did your mean mounting using nfs? You do not
tell us which version of linux. But run the initscript to bring up
netwriorking and nfs. Set up /etc/exports to allow the system to export the
required directory. On the other machine run
mount A:/path/of/the/directory /path/to/mount -t nfs

ps aux|grep nfs
ps aux|grep mount

If these return nfsd and rpc.mountd as things running on the server then
you already have nfs running Otherwise make sure that nfs-utils is
installed.

If not do
service nfs start

then put the directory you want to export into /etc/exports, run exportfs
-a

There are those who feel that instead of using NFS for Linux <-> Linux
shared filesystems, you should use CIFS.

Samba + smbmount are not as bad as one might think. If they detect they
are Linux <-> Linux, they kick into a more powerful mode - EG, Symlinks
work.

Anyway, back to NFS. If you select NFS over CIFS and have trouble with
it, you might try http://stromberg.dnsalias.org/~strombrg/NFS-

NFS or sshfs are two good options. sshfs is pretty slow, but very
secure and needs nothing more than an SSH server (pretty common)
running on the remote machine. You can reliably use this whereve you
would be happy to use SSH. Once you have sshfs setup on B, you can
mount as many A's as you like without any real effort. sshfs requires
a FUSE.

Is the above is what you meant by "But run the initscript to bring up
netwriorking and nfs"

If not what is exactly "run the initscript"

Thanks

Hi

Would the following perhaps the right order:

initscript to bring up netwriorking and nfs (how ??)

ps aux|grep nfs
ps aux|grep mount

If these return nfsd and rpc.mountd as things running on the server
then
you already have nfs running Otherwise make sure that nfs-utils is
installed.

If not do
service nfs start

then put the directory you want to export into /etc/exports - Set up /
etc/exports to allow the system to export the
required directory. On the other machine run
mount A:/path/of/the/directory /path/to/mount -t nfs

run exportfs (How do I do this?)

Typically that's:

/etc/init.d/nfsd start

and

/etc/init.d/net.eth0 start

(the last command will vary quite a bit depending on distros and how you
network is setup. I would assume your network is up and running anyway.)

Wow, that zx spectrum emulator's getting versatile.

NFS and Samba are two standard approaches. I use NFS and I am very
happy, it is perfect for a home setting. I use it to export my
directory with movies to all home computers. Directories are exported
read only, which adds a little extra safety.
