SpeedEvilYou mean you want to when ypi plug the n900 in - have it appear as if the network share is inside mydocs?18:31
Grownseedwell not necessarily in mydocs, but i basically want to be able to create "mass storage" which would make network shares available18:32
SpeedEvilYou basically can't.18:32
SpeedEvilWell - you can.18:32
SpeedEvilBut it's a hideously nasty hack.18:32
SpeedEvilWhat you'd need to do.18:32
SpeedEvilMount the share - scan it for all filenames and sizes.18:32
SpeedEvilNow, build a fake FAT filesystem, with all these files in.18:33
SpeedEvilNow, let the system at the other side mount it.18:33
Grownseedwhat do you mean by "build a fake FAT filesystem"?18:33
SpeedEvilNow - when the system you've plugged it into accesses block #19338149 - the fake filesystem layer looks up, and finds that's bytes 4096-8129 of c:\win32\whatever.sys - and reads those bytes, and returns it.18:34
SpeedEvilWhen you plug in your n900 - it is acting like a dumb disk drive.18:34
SpeedEvilIt's not a 'networked filesystem' like NFS or samba.18:34
SpeedEvilIf you want to expose external shares - you need to make it appear to the host like you've plugged in a hard disk containing all of those files.18:35
Grownseedok i get the idea18:35
SpeedEvilAs far as I'm aware this layer has not been written.18:35
Grownseedand would it not be possible to make some sort of "USB server" (i know it's probably the wrong terminology) that would behave like mass storage but in fact serve the mounted shares?18:36
SpeedEvilYes.18:39
SpeedEvilIt has issues - if the remote filesystem that's mounted has any of the files change by the far side - the best you can do to signal this is a disk error.18:39
Grownseedfair enough, thanks a lot for your input SpeedEvil18:40
SpeedEvilnp18:40
SpeedEvilI don't know if there are any 'NAS' like devices windows will mount in other than block mode by derfault.18:40
SpeedEvilIf there are, you could emulate them in a gadget driver.18:41
Grownseedapparently the HSTI stick doesn't update the contents of the mounted shares dynamically, it has to be restarted so i suppose this has to do with the 'disk error' issue you mentioned18:41
SpeedEvilyeah.18:41
