I thought Samba lets you mount Unix drive on the windows box, in other words making Unix drive readable by Windows machines. How about making Windows hard-drive readable by Unix machines. Does Samba do that?
You just need to set the Windows share at the root dir of the partition in question. Under NT/2000 there is an administrative share such as c$, d$, etc.
At the house, I setup the Win98 machines with shares at the root level with names like "c_drive". You can then mount the share with samba and have full access to the drive.
Here is a sample of mounting another machine in the house with samba for full drive access:
Code:
FreeBSD:joeuser:/home/joeuser $ su
Password:
FreeBSD:root:/home/joeuser $ mount -t smbfs //targetmachine/c_drive /targetmachine/
Password:
FreeBSD:root:/home/joeuser $ cd /targetmachine/
FreeBSD:root:/targetmachine $ ls -al
