Samba on ClassicWB
Ok, after some fiddling with miamiDx and samba, I got filesharing working and mounted my amiga partition on my pee zee on my Amiga ! A 30 Gb of Amiga data woohooo ! There is a problem though. Due to its humongous size, the share drive renders my poor amiga 3000 with stock 16mb ram useless. I added a command to mount this drive to scalos menu, I wonder if I can add another command to unmount it ? I checked the amigados materials, but didn't find any references to unmounting drives. Is this possible at AmigaOS at all ?

First of all you don't need Samba to mount PC drives. Samba is the server component of SMB, it is only needed to see your Amiga drives on the PC.
To mount PC drives on your Amiga you use either SMB-Net or SMBFS. SMBFS is a command line program which can simply be stopped ("unmounted") by Ctrl-C. If it runs in the background you can use the break command to send Ctrl-C to the process. Of course this only works if no files are still in use on this drive. SMB-Net (or SMB-Connect) is mountlist-driven like any AmigaDOS device. If an AmigaDOS device can be unmounted depends on if the handler supports the ACTION_DIE packet. IIRC SMB-Connect does support this packet. There is a program called KillDev in the IDEfix97 archive on Aminet. You can use it to unmount SMB-Net shares, even without installing IDEfix. |
