Re: Can debian act as an USB mass storage device?
Hi Jochen,
Yes mounting samba shares is a pretty convenient and transparent way
to access the data on my server. I do that all the time but I think
that USB 2.0 might be faster for large transfers. It would also be
more "plug and play" if someone visiting me with a laptop just wants
to grab some files from the server. And last but not least, I am just
curious how this can be done :)
Thanks,
Thomas
