Sharing emule files with Windows / Linux
« on: January 20, 2004, 02:15:33 AM »
Hi !
I am using a dual partition disk, one is Windows XP, the other is Linux (gentoo)
I set up  a temp and an incoming dir on the windows partition (vfat) so that both my windows emule and my linux emule can share their downloads (and resume them).

But when amule begin to transfer the files, a box appears saying :
Code: [Select]
Impossible to overwrite the file '/mnt/win/home/001.part.met.backup' (error 2: No such file or directory)
02:12:08: Impossible to overwrite the file '/mnt/win/home/001.part.met.backup' (error 2: No such file or directory)
02:12:08: Impossible to overwrite the file '/mnt/win/home/001.part.met.BAK' (error 2: No such file or directory)
And these errors keep on coming again and again...

If I put the temp dir on the linux partition everything works fine tough ..
Is this a known issue? or is there a workaround ?

I tried to "touch" these files but they didn't appear on the win partition, maybe this is a linux related bug ?

are you sure you have the proper permissions on the temp files?
when you use emule-windows to resume a download a file that you started with amule-linux, does it complain??

If it is trying to write straight into "/mnt/win/home", then when you are in windows that would equal to "c:\home" and not "c:\home\temp" which is where you probably set the files to be when in windows.

mm well, let me clarify this : I use aMule 1.2.4 and set my temp dir path to /mnt/win/home/shared/temp (or whatever other path in my /mnt/win/ )

As soon as the file begin the transfer something, aMule complains about  "Impossible to overwrite the file ....".

All the files in that mount are chmod 0700 for my user (does amule run under the group name ??)

The Last thing: emule-windows and emule-linux are perfectly working together on the same temp file (resuming, etc) except for that bug in amule (wich do not prevent the file being downloaded..)
