Add nbdkit-floppy-plugin, “inspired” by qemu's VVFAT driver, but without the ability to handle writes. The implementation is pretty complete, supporting FAT32, LFNs, volume labels, timestamps, etc, and it passes both ‘make check’ and ‘make check-valgrind’. Usage is simple; to serve the current directory: $ nbdkit floppy . Then using guestfish (or any NBD client): $ guestfish --ro

Example of such a long file name? So

Create a virtual FAT-formatted floppy disk from a directory of files. For example: nbdkit floppy /path/to/directory The implementation of this is quite different from nbdkit-iso-plugin since we cannot use an external program. Instead this plugin synthesizes the MBR partition and FAT32 structures that are required. To do: Implement bootable virtual floppy using syslinux. This is not

These plugins have in common that they store either a list of allocated strings or a list of constant strings. Define either string_vector or const_string_vector as appropriate and use it to store these lists. --- plugins/iso/Makefile.am | 1 + plugins/split/Makefile.am | 1 + plugins/floppy/virtual-floppy.h | 7 +++-- plugins/floppy/directory-lfn.c | 35 +++++++++-------------

Hello List, Can anyone please help explain how Samba handles long filename conversion to DOS 8.3 tilde format? I have a client with a Windows app that works great when using 8.3 type filenames. When an attempt to use long filenames is made, the files are created great and the data is there. But when the app builds the index and attempt to retrieve the data file is made, the wrong file is

Hi all, I've tried and retried to make some USB sticks bootable. I started by making one partition, labeling it FAT16, copying a kernel, an initrd and a very simple syslinux.cfg file. I ran syslinux /dev/sda1 on it. Didn't boot. I tried placing on it the mbr.bin file ('cat mbr.bin > /dev/sda') but still no boot. Then I tried various combinations of these two. Labeling

This is a fsck log of my computer ,everytime when boot the system show this things, what's the problem? And how can I cancel it when system boot?

Hi. I have some small utilities that is running in dos mode. How can I boot into dos with different kinds of dos command with PXELinux? My menu is working fine, but I'm not sure what I should add to run into dos. My fixes.menu looks like this: # Menu Start MENU TITLE Fixes Menu LABEL MainMenu MENU LABEL ^Return to Main Menu MENU GOTO .top LABEL dosutils MENU LABEL ^File

From a windows client it is easy and fast to obtain from a samba share both the long filenames and the short 8.3 names by using DIR /x. Is there a way for a Linux client to obtain this same information swiftly for a large directory listing - or indeed for the samba server to show this information? The only way I have found is using smbclient's altname function but I seem to have to call

Thanks for Remko for his help to solve the fractional cylinder problem. But there is the second problem, the boot disk failure (see below << [B]) ... command line: initrd=disk.img harddisk c=2 h=256 s=63 BOOT_IMAGE=memdisk Disk is hard disk, 16128K CHS=2/256/63 <<<< [A] ...

Testing the DOS-based Syslinux installer, syslinux.com, with the "-m" parameter, I found that it works as expected under MS-DOS and its DOS variants, but it seems to fail under FreeDOS (please correct me if I'm wrong). Using FreeDOS kernel v.2041 (386f32), Syslinux v.6.03-pre11 and either FAT16 or FAT32 partitions, executing: syslinux.com -m -i c: or: syslinux.com -f -m -i

Hi, I seem to have some trouble on default lowering the case on 8.3 filenames. I use the following settings but sometimes I still get a 8.3-compliant file with uppercased chars in my unix filesystem. default case = lower case sensitive = no preserve case = yes short preserve case = no mangle case = no mangling method = hash2 Any thoughts? BTW. using HP/UX 11.00

Okay, I've run through all of the tests in the DIAGNOSE, which my 1.9.18p1 SAMBA server (and NT4SP3/W95 clients) pass with flying colours. server box: Linux 2.0.33, gcc 2.7.2.2, libc 5.4.33, shadow, quota on (usr+grp), and my smb.conf is summarised (by testparm output) below: Problem is this: with respect to programs not long filename-aware/compliant, users cannot "double-click" on

Hi all, We've been using the 2.0.0 prealpha's with some success, but now I have run into a problem which I can't seem to solve. The client, an NT 3.51 workstation logged in to an NT 3.51 PDC, can't create long file names on a 2.0.0 prealpha Samba server. For example, when renaming a file from 'readme.doc' to 'readme.pqrst', 'readme.pqr' is created. In

Hi... I noticed a bug with samba 2.2.8a on my SuSE 9.0 box. I use the UltraEdit text editor to edit my php files in a samba share. By default this text editor places .bak files next to the changed file. What I now noticed was this problem: I edit a file 1234567.php and it generates a file 1234567.php.bak. I can open and edit the 1234567.php normally. I edit a file 123456789.php with the same
