Stream library from one Mac to another - The Rabbit - 2013-06-07

Hey guys!

I have a little problem. I have my movie collection on my external hard drive, which is connected to my iMac.

I want to share the library with my Macbook Pro, i have got the mysql config setted up, and its working, now i just have to share the files.

What method would you suggest to stream the files from my external hard drive from my iMac to my macbook pro while it still would work with the mysql library share, so the viewed and unviewed files is the same on both computers.

Thank you Smile Big Grin

samba or nfs


RE: Stream library from one Mac to another - The Rabbit - 2013-06-07

I have tried both methods, but having trouble on both..

Currently I'm struggling with NFS, i have set the exports on the iMac to
Code:
/Volumes -alldirs -network 192.168.0.0 -mask 255.255.0.0
"/Volumes/Niclas' Ekstern" -network 192.168.0.0 -mask 255.255.0.0

But when i try connecting to /Volumes/Niclas' Ekstern" it say that i don't have permission to do so. Do you have any idea why it is so?

I tried ls -le the /Volumes directory and got this

Code:
drwxrwxr-x  41 Niclas  staff  2583  6 Jun 21:11 BOOTCAMP
lrwxr-xr-x   1 root    admin     1  7 Jun 15:02 Macintosh HD -> /
drwxrwxr-x  23 Niclas  staff  1449  7 Jun 15:03 Niclas' Ekstern

Could it be because that the external drive is formatted as ufsd_NTFS?

NFS Manager is giving the following error:
Code:
Can't export /Volumes/Ekstern/Movies: Is a directory (21)
exports:2: kernel export registration failed: NFS exporting not supported by fstype "ufsd_NTFS" (readdir)
