Re: [Linux-decnet-user] mounting vms volumes from linux with dnprogs

[Tilman G. <til...@o2...>]

Hi Crissie,

thanks for your reply. I understand now that the VMS record structure makes all these things a bit complicated. As I don't have to tell dncopy anything to put my text files back to vms, I guess it breaks the text up into the right records (It seems that one record corresponds to one line of text, right?)
As I don't think I can change the record format on the VMS side, I think I'll have to live with dncopy.

I have seen that I can use dapfs with other usernames on the VMS side. But for now, I have to be root on the Linux system to mount the VMS. As I don't pass a directory name here but a system name, I don't know if I can build up an entry for etc/fstab to make it user-mountable for any linux user.

I guess my strategy to keep my files in sync should be the following:
1. use a working directory within my home dir on the vax, so that I can "see" file creation dates from linux with dapfs
2. somehow put together a "makefile" which copies over the changed files from linux to vms and calls the required compilers on the vax.
3. ideally, in the case of failure to compile, delete the copied source files in order to make the clean-up more easy.

On the other hand, maybe I can also extract the dates somehow from dndir into some kind of "make", in order to avoid restriction 1.?


As I am unexperienced with everything that is involved here (including building makefiles), I would appreciate any hints on what to do how, and wether it should be done from the linux or the vms side :)
