Zen and the art of working with NT
I have a linux machine here which is low on hard disk space
my idea was to mount my "Windows NT home directory" here at work
and use it for extra space (I can up my spcae by 2 gigs that way)
o far I have mounted my home drive
\\home5\sjc8$ on /mnt/partners with smbmount
because o fmy specific problems I was trying to do the following:
create a second extended filesystem in a file on the NT home dir
and then mount that filesystem (I need a filesystem that will hole my
files and care about case and permissions
I am planning on using it to image CDs to burn (hamm hamm hamm :) )
why wont it work?
I can make an e2fs filesystem but when I try to moungt it anywhere I get
errors
I tried the following example
cd ~
touch test.e2
mke2fs -F test.e2 500
(it makes a filesystem)
mkdir testmnt
mount test.e2 -o loop testmnt
and it moutns!
then...
cp test.e2 /mnt/partners
mount /mnt/partners/test.e2 -o loop testmnt
and I get the errors "loop: block 1 not present" and a bunch of others
then I tried
cd /mnt/partners
mkdir testmnt
and same deal
anyone tried this? can it work? what sthe problem?
