 Posted: Thu Oct 03, 2002 1:05 pm Post subject: Difference between networked and local disk when TeX'ing |
 |
|
I am using xemacs to write latex-documents using a package called whizzytex. This package performs a continuous compilation of a segment (slice) of my document and updates the dvi-file in advi as I type in xemacs (sending a SIGHUP or whatever to advi). This works wonderfully for documents stored in my homedir, but when I try to edit documents on the network drive (Sun Unix server connected via samba), I have to manually click on advi to get an update. According to the log (CTRL-ENTER) of whizzytex, I get the following while editing local files:
| Code: | <Waiting>
<Waiting>
<Recompiling>
<Compilation succeeded>
<Waiting> |
and when I edit files on the network, I get something like this:
| Code: | <Waiting>
<Recompiling>
<Compilation succeeded>
ln: creating hard link `_whizzy_IEEE_Trans_Cont_Sys_Tech_2002-183_Hwang_Chiou_Lee.last' to `_whizzy_IEEE_Trans_Cont_Sys_Tech_2002-183_Hwang_Chiou_Lee.tex': Operation not permitted
<Waiting>

Any idea what could be the problem here?
My /etc/fstab entry for the networked drive looks like this:
| Code: | //ursus/esi /mnt/itkhome smbfs noauto,user,password=MySecretPassword 0 0

Looks like it is trying to make a hard link in a Win share.... which must be a NTFS or FAT disk, which doesn t support links (AFAIK)....

Thanks for your reply!
Yeah, it's definitely related to making links. I've tried to make links manually on that drive, but I get the exact same message, so apparently it is totally unrelated to TeX/xemacs. But the disk with my homedir which I've connected through samba is on a Unix server running SunOS 5.7, and it does support links (when using ssh).
So the question is: Does samba allow links to be made on Unix systems, and how? |

| The problem has now been fixed by using nfs instead of samba. |
