export an optical drive to windows
Hi everyone,
I have a debian etch server with an optical drive. Is it possiple to "export" the optical drive to windows? I want to use it for reading (with eac - so I need a raw access) and burning. Greetings ToK |
what emulation/simulation program are you using?
wine? VMware? Xen? qemu? |
Hi cyberfishee
sorry, I've forgotten to tell: This are to different machines connected over ethernet... |
i see.
then maybe take a look at this? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATA-over-Ethernet I am by no means expert in this =D only read about it a while ago, and never did it myself just a link to get started |
You need to install SAMBA. Most distros will have a package for this.
Then you need to configure it to share the CD-drive. IIRC the default configuration file (usually /etc/samba/smb.conf) has a lot of examples which you can use just by uncommenting/modifying the relevant section. The home site for samba is http://www.samba.org with full documentation, but it is pretty heavy going. Edit: I just see you need raw access. Not so sure about that. |
OK, I configured samba and autofs. It works as far as I only want to read files. I can't burn and I can't play audio-disks.
On the other hand is ATA-over-Ethernet. That's want I want (I think ;) I havn't tried it out). The problem is, that I can't find a free Windows-Client. Does anybody know one? |
