Hi, I am installing a Samba 3.0.1 on RH90 for a little school, and they want to have access to a mobile usb-harddrive.

Hi all, I want to have a warmboot nonvolatile ramdisk to put and start XP from ram. That means that the ramdisk and its content have to survive a reboot on a "normal computer"!

Qemm (8, 97)does not work together with harddrive

Hi all, I found a strange behavior in memdisk: I build an image of Windows 2000 (Fat32) with geometric of C=115 H=255 S=63. I testet it as a real harddisk and it works. I boot it to ram with memdisk initrd=w2000.img from my first harddrive, as discribed to boot with syslinux. It crashs with reboot, the time is to short to recognice the appearing letters before reboot. (Can I stop the screen?)

Hi all! Maybe I'm just being silly here, but I'm wondering if anybody has ever used their computer for sharing files over USB. That is, the computer pretends to be a USB mass storage device. This could be useful for connecting to media players and such that support you plugging a USB harddrive or memory stick. Surely, somebody must have thought of this before :-D regards, Bent

Hi all, I just bought a brand new PC for my living room (Asus eee Box) that happens to come with Windows 7. I can nicely plug in large USB hard drives, any my intention was to share these harddrives on the network, for example with my old Windows 98 PC on which I still run some favorite computer games. And of course, I would also like to access the large harddrive occasionally from my linux box

If I understand the docs (http://www.nabble.com/-RFC--PATCH-0-4--PVUSB:-add-paravirtualized-USB-s upport-for-Xen-td22550607.html), I can''t have a USB harddisk used by Dom0 and also pass through another USB harddisk to DomU, because Dom0 will claim the device. Is this a fundamental issue that can''t be solved without a lot of mucking around or is there an easier way around it?
