Title: Sharing files on an external hd with amule 2.2.2
Post by: 2M on September 28, 2008, 06:31:15 AM

Hi Guys :)
i just installed amule 2.2.2  on a mac os 10.4.11 system and it seems impossible to share files on an external hd,
(i've always been successfully using a firewire hd with previous versions). In the preferences dialog > folders > shared
there's no possibility to expand the /Volumes folder tree (the folder that os x uses to mount volumes) resulting in the impossibility
to share external volumes. Anybody has an hint on this issue?
Thanks, 2M

Yes. It is a known issue (as a forum search would have revealed), and we're working on it.

Thanks for answering GonoszTopi and sorry for posting about a known topic.
I guess I'll be waiting for the next version...
Bless, 2M

Out of curiousity, could you workaround with a symbolic link?

That's how I re-route a lot of my mac stuff to an external HD. 10.5 introduced some oddities to the process, but in theory it should work.

Just be careful with the syntax - I've done serious damage by reversing the syntax.

ln -s /Volumes/MyExtHD /Users/Shared/MyRandomLinkName

I think is how it gets done - can someone verify?
