O.k. list I've got an "update" on my subject:
from kernel 2.2.9 /fs/hfs/HFS.txt lines 106 and following:
.....
One additional limitation is that the Desktop database on the disk is
stored in afpd's format and is separate from any existing database
maintained by the Finder when the volume is used on a Macintosh.
Because of this mounting an HFS CDROM across the network to a
Macintosh may result in applications and documents showing up with
default application and document icons. Additionally double clicking
on a document will fail to start the correct application. Both of
these problems can be worked around by copying the application to a
local disk on the Macintosh.
.....
Oh, oh! Does that mean jukeboxing is a "no-go"? That I'll have to buy a
$2k++ NSM box? Anyone have ideas?
I am willing to hack the unix side, but have no idea on the mac side of
things. How about a prog that "pulls out" all the file info from the CD
_after_ the mount and saves it in the mount directory? Or am I missing it?
reagards,
Lars
