Among our netapps we have a F330 which will soon be put into use as a fileserver for our internal use. We have PCs, various UNIX workstations, and a few Macs. The Macs are giving me a headache - the netapp doesn't support Appletalk, so we are pondering the alternatives :
We've tried 'DAVE' from Thursby systems, which gives the Mac CIFS-client capabilities. This works fine with NT servers, however it does not work with netapps. (This is noted in bug #4140 - with no indication of whose problem it is, or, for that matter, when it might be fixed).
Other options include NFS client software on the Macs, or setting up a gateway, which will mount the netapp via nfs, and re-export the filesystems via Appletalk (using linux and the free appletalk package, for example).
Has anyone tried any of these solutions ? What will work ?
regards,
