Mount unix mo-disc on a pc

[P Videbech]

I would very much like to mount my mo-disc with unix files on it, onto
my windows xp computer. When correctly connected the computer can read
mo-discs written by windows applications, but can I also read unix
files on my PC? I have to transfer these files from a unix computer to
my PC.

Thank you in advance
Yours sincerely,

Poul Videbech

There's currently no way to do this. The drive contains more than
just files; it also contains a filesystem. Reading a filesystem
requires a filesystem driver/module/what have you, and Windows
doesn't have a JFS driver.

Nicholas

You can mount and read JFS with Linux and OS/2. So it is basically
possible on a PC, but not with M$ Windooze (as Nicholas wrote).

use samba to present the filesystem as a widows share... or get a good
nfs client. netmanage can mount nfs exports.
