Re: [coLinux-users] External Drive Access of Linux Drives

[Ewan G. <ewa...@gm...>]

Well, yes, the wiki certainly does cover how to map disk partitions.
The part I haven't been able to find out there is whether I can (or
need to) do a "modprobe uhci" to get my usb 2 interface loaded, and
whether there is sbp2 support for the firewire.

IOW, do I need to build a custom kernel to support those interfaces,
and if I did so, is there anything in how coLinux shares these
interfaces that would create a problem in using them to access a hard
drive?

Otherwise, I suppose I could format them as NTFS, use the dosdevices
option, and then create some large cobd compatible files and access
them that way. But that many levels of indirection seems a bit
extreme...
