I am trying to share a loop mounted file system from a linux box but Windows XP does not display the share: I mounted a dd image of an ntfs partition using: mount -o loop /home/public/ntfs_image.dd /mnt/diskimage/ I then shared /mnt/diskimage using the webmin samba interface and restarted the samba server. When I browsed (in Windows) to where the share should be I can not see the diskimage share. All the other shares are visible/accessible. /mnt/diskimage is browsable on the linux host If I unmount /mnt/diskimage and restart the samba server then I can "see" the empty diskimage directory from Windows XP Any thoughts? Is this a samba issue or a mount issue or simply a "you can't get there from here"? Any help would be greatly appreciated. - gustav
