Do you want it accessible by other linux machines or Windows machines. (or Macs, but I just realized that I'm not sure what network shares a Mac can see!  )
So, for other linux machines, you are going to need to
and then
so that you can read about how to edit your /etc/exports file for sharing. An example of sharing to all ip's from essentially 192.168.2.0 to 192.168.2.254 is
| Code: | # /etc/exports: NFS file systems being exported. See exports(5).
/storage/videos 192.168.2.0/255.255.255.0(ro,no_root_squash,sync)
|
That gives read only access to anyone with an ip in that range that is running nfs. All machines accessing nfs need nfs-utils also. I've not found nfs to be browsable yet without mounting the share, so, to use it, you'll need to mount the share either by command:
| Code: | mount -t nfs bobsComuter:/storage/videos /mnt/somedir
|
or in your fstab
| Code: | bobsComputer:/storage/videos /mnt/somedir nfs defaults 0 0
|
For windows sharing, you use samba. And well, there is plenty of talk about that on here. After emerging samba, here is a small example of a share in /etc/samba/smb.conf:
| Code: | [global]
map to guest = Bad User
guest ok = yes
domain master = no
preferred master = no
max protocol = NT
security = share
server string = Feel free to grab anything you see here.
[Shows]
comment = Shows
path = /storage/videos/
guest only = yes
writable = yes
|
So, I'm not sure what all you know about this. I don't know a lot, but I run both types of shares and run them for 2 networks. Just don't forget to add samba and nfs as rc services. ie. rc-update add nfs default, and so on.
