I have such a beastie working here. I took a separate disk to
have ufs on.
rdb the drive
then mkfs -F ufs /dev/dsk/c..... nmbr.of.sectors
mount -F ufs /dev/dsk/c..... /xxx # be sure to have a
mountpoint.
share /xxxx
You can do the mounts and share automaticaly.
There is one problem, that the size is not correctly. f.i. a
40M drive would have 104M free 195M in use this is due to the
blocksize 8K blocks.
This setup runs here for two weeks now and no problems (sofar
:-)), though it is stated that it is broken.
Disclaimer:
I cannot guarantee that it will work for you. you can have
problems with it that I don't know of yet.
If you want to be sure that it is really fixed wait for 2.0, I
know for sure it is fixed there.
