Re: [coLinux-devel] Host FS support

[Jonathan B. <sac...@ya...>]

I thought about that already.  I installed SMB, with
Samba client/server, to
see if I can create a small and simple read-only root
drive to create an
effect like the cygwin shell with SMB shares.  That
would be much easier
then to write another virtual file system and maintain
it since Samba is
very active.  Because of that, I think the current
setup of coLinux is
effective for create a psuedo-virtual filesystem.

To make the progression easier between the two
systems, we need a way to
reflect changes in the NT accounts onto the coLinux
accounts.  Perhaps, a
group called "ntfs" in coLinux would give default
access to the NT shares.

There is also a way to do the shares with NFS, yet I
think that would be
more complex to manage.
