Mac Windows file system

I have a 500gb external hard drive that I'd like to use on both my mac and pc and I'm not sure what file system to format it in or what program i should use to format it with? I believe Fat 16 or 32, I'm not sure can be formatted with disk utility but there are file size limitations.

Is there a file system with no space limitations?
Every filesystem has some size limit, and FAT32 is the best of those which can be read and written by Mac OS X and Windows out of the box. Third party software is needed to use any of the others.

Hi Chiluveru Sravanthi
According to the documentation, there is a difference between the path syntax for the repository manager and the network path. Did you pay attention to this difference when doing your configurations?
Network paths (Network Path)
Specifies the path to the Windows remote server.
The path consists of the IP address of the Windows remote server, and a path specification.
For example,
192.168.0.1share
Alternatively, you can enter the UNC name and path of the server, for example,
servershare.
SAP recommends that you specify the IP address, since you can then check the availability of the server more easily, using the ping command.
Note: It is not sufficient to enter the server name alone. Specifications in the form of c$ cannot be resolved either.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/63/7f283ac3d7c54b94964931fa1b4ed9/frameset.htm
File System Repository Manager (Root Directory)
This denotes the path to the root directory in the file system to which the repository manager is assigned.
If you want to integrate documents from a Windows system, this can be a drive letter (followed by a colon) or directory path on the local server or a remote server share (for example, //myserver/myshare/somedir).
If you are running your portal on UNIX and want to access the file system on another UNIX host, you must mount the required directory on the portal server.
Example path when using a UNIX system:
/usr/company/share
The repository manager is responsible for the specified directory and all its subdirectories.
Note that multiple repository manager configurations are not allowed to have the same subpath in their Localroot parameter.

PPP and PPPoE configuration are described in the [Network Administration Guide|http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-4555/modemtm-1] .
A WWAN device should appear as a serial device in the */dev/term* directory. The [Wireless Wide Area Network|http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/forum.jspa?forumID=134] discussion group is probably the best place to get specific questions answered regarding your setup.

Using JMX for detecting changes in windows file system?

Can anybody help to find way to watch changes in windows file system.........Or say files are transfer in mounted drive i want to start access to those files as and when they come in drive.....do not wait while transferring all files ..

Hi,
JMX is a technology that will let a Java process expose information to a remote client application.
It doesn't define what information to expose, but simply how to make it available externally.
JMX per-se cannot be used to detect the kind of things you describe, but if you are able to detect them, JMX will help you making the information available to external applications.
Hope this helps,

Can see windows file system, its in the grub menu, can't load it.

Hello.
I can mount and access my window file system. I can also see it's entry in the grub menu, but I cannot load it.
I used os-prober to detect the windows installation and then install grub.
Does anyone know what the problem might be?
This is my file system, just in case:
Number Start (sector) End (sector) Size Code Name
1 2048 206847 100.0 MiB 0700 Microsoft basic data
2 206848 315121663 150.2 GiB 0700 Microsoft basic data

4 1953521664 1953525134 1.7 MiB EF02 BIOS boot partition
Thanks in advance for your time and kind concern.

After you run
# grub-install --target=i386-pc --recheck /dev/sda
# grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
are there any errors during the mkconfig -o usually its says found this os then this os using os prober. Are you seeing all the os currently installed on your partitions?

Retrieving Windows File System Icons

I am building a tool similiar to windows explorer in Java 1.3.1
Does anyone know how to access the windows file system icons. I noticed that java 1.4 has a method in the FileView class called getSystemIcon(File f) to retrieve the icon. Does anyone know how to do this in 1.3.1 ?
Thanks,
clevelam

I wrote a program that displays all of the UIManager properties in a table format. Try running it and clicking on the FileView tab.
http://www.discoverteenergy.com/files/ShowUIDefaults.java
Once you know which property you want to access, try something like this:
UIDefaults defaults = UIManager.getDefaults();
Icon computerIcon = defaults.getIcon( "FileView.computerIcon" );

Windows & File System Repository - security issues

Hello,
I got a strange behavior in EP 6 SP 2 using KM and Windows file systems. Here is the scenario:
- I created a Network Path and a File System Repository pointing to a Windows 2003 File System, following the portal help instructions. Both EP6 server and Windows 2003 server are in the same domain.
- according the KM Monitor, the repository is up and running
- the portal users can access their respectives folders in the file system after having their uids / passwords mapped in the user mapping option
- the portal is assuming the permissions (read & write & list folder & etc) from windows
So far it seemed to be everything ok - but after some tests we got the problem:
- user "A" has his uid/pwd mapped in portal, and read & write access to the file system "dept_folder". He can access the folder through a KM iview, with r/w privileges.
- user "B" has his uid/pwd mapped in portal, and ONLY read access to the file system "dept_folder". He can access the folder through an KM iview, with read privileges.
- and here comes the problem: if user "A" is logged, and user "B" replaces his uid by user "A" uid in the user mapping (only the uid, the password doesn't matter) he can access the file system "dept_folder" with the same privileges than user "A".
I looked in SDN, SAP Notes and SAP Portal Help trying to find an article related to this, no success so far. We have CM Patches 2 & 3 applied, and Patch 4 doesn't have any comment about this specific security problem.
Has someone already face this problem ? Or could be something wrong in my configuration ?
Rgds, and tks in advance
Fernando Cervantes

Hi David
The same occurred here, I think I know the reason. Let me just give you an overview of my configuration:
Network Path id          ccc-ccc1fs-drive_i
Description *           DRIVE I - CCC1FS Server
Network Path *
ccc1fs\Drive_I
Password           *********
Re-Enter Password      *********
User *           ccc\service
The user was provided by the Windows administrator and has full control for this folder.
File System Repository
Description                  File System drive_i CCC1FS Server
Prefix *                /ccc-ccc1fs-drive_i
Root Directory *           //ccc1fs/drive_i
Windows Landscape System      Windows
ACL Manager                Not set
Security Manager          W2KSecurityManager
The important here is the Security Manager configuration - it must be W2KSecurityManager, otherwise you will have the user permissions overrided by admin user permission. And you will need to configure a Windows system landscape too.
I hope this can help you...concerning the bosses, I got the same situation, I said the whole stuff would work fine
Rgds,
Fernando

Windows File System Issue

I have a system built using Oracle text that worked fine until we moved some content to a Windows file server. The old system used a Unix system with a samba server sharing out networked files. This system is still available and the content indexes are fine. The new system, which uses shared Windows drives, just won't generate any indexes. The Windows box has wide open security - everyone has full access. The file links in my database work - I can select them and cut and paste them into explorer to open them. The code I use to create the indexes is exactly the same for both the Unix server and the Windows server, but it just doesn't index the Windows content.
Any thoughts?

Try starting the local database service as the local administrator user, as the default internal windows account has no rights to access a network drive.

Firefox corrupts windows file system

Since upgrading to Firefox 32.0, my Acronis Backup stops with the error message
"Backup of file or folder c:\Users\Robert\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<Firefox.Profile>\Cache" failed. File or folder does not exists."
The problem no longer occurs after running chkdsk which implies a file system corruption, but it re-occurs when opening and closing Firefox.
Note that I use hibernation (i.e. I open and close the browser, hibernate, wake up and then note the file system corruption)

Yes, I have checked that the folder is not explicitly specified. Also, after running chkdsk, the backup runs successfully, even if the folder does not exist.
I have run some more tests, and am now very confident that this is indeed a bug.
Reproduction:
1) Start & Close Firefox
2) Run Backup --> Error
3) Create an empty folder named "Cache"
4) Run Backup --> OK
5) Start & Close Firefox --> Folder "Cache" is renamed to "Cache.Trash<Number>"
6) Run Backup -> Error
repeat as desired
I have found a temporary fix: When I remove the delete permission on my manually created "Cache" folder, Firefox does create a "Cache.Trash<Number>" folder, but cannot delete the Cache folder. The backup will run in this case.

Mac & windows file name sizes

I am using Dreamweaver 8 on the Mac for most all of my
commercial web development. I have a G5 connected to a local
network where I also run a Windows 2000 box as a web server to test
with. in a new project which I took over from another company they
have page names such as
new-england-lodging-2-doubles-1-twin.html
I downloaded the site and can see it all hunky-dorey on the
Mac. however when I try & upload these files to my testing
server, they won't go. I get the following error message:
new-england-lodging-2-doubles-1-twin.html - error occurred -
An error occurred - cannot put
new-england-lodging-2-doubles-1-twin.html. The specified path does
not exist.
of course the path DOES in fact exist. in addition I can
create a file with this name on the PC side with no difficulty.
however when I do so the file name is displayed on the Mac side
thus:
NEW-EN~2.HTM
obviously this is not at all useful!
any thoughts or workarounds for this? use of these file names
is a requirement on this site for SEO reasons. I would prefer not
to have to do the development on the PC for a variety of reasons.
thanks

That typically occures when reading a windows formatted disk.
How did you
download the images to the Mac? Did you just grab then from
the FTP server?
If so, the file names SHOULD have come across OK.

Ipod mini - Mac - Windows - FILES

Hi,
Does anyone know if files duplicate when using the ipod mini as a hard-drive?
For example, when saving a file (eg. word file) on the ipod from a Mac computer, will the file appear as duplicated when connecting the ipod to a Windows computer? (It doesn't duplicate on Mac however.)
I have been using this USB hard drive recently and when I saved files on it from a Mac computer, the files appeared duplicated when I saw it in Windows explorer.
Unfortunately, I made the mistake of deleting all the duplicated files (when using the Windows computer) only to find out all remaining files could no longer open; and this was not my USB.
I am considering purchasing the ipod mini (or shuffle). Could you tell me if I would expect this duplication of files (seen when connceted to a Windows computer) to occur when using the ipod as a hard drive? And if it does occur, how may I get around this issue?
Thanks for your help.
Alan.

Are the 'duplicate' files the exact same size? I'm wondering if they're some sort of 'information' file put on it by the MAC that the MAC file explorer automatically hides, but Windows doesn't.
Having said that, you'll have to format your mini on a PC to make sure both types of computers 'see' it . . . but other than the hassle of carrying around the cord, I can't see any other issues.
Good luck!

Mac - Windows File Sharing not working

Hi there,
I want to use Lion's SMB File Sharing from my MacBook Pro (mid-2012) and my PC running Windows XP. Currently, my list of Windows users on my Mac is empty, and everytime I try to log in from my PC, I get a prompt asking me to log in, but no matter which passwords I enter, they don't work.
Can anyon help me? Thanks!
PS A bit off topic, but my Screen Sharing option is missing too...

OK, good. (although, dd-wrt doess appear to be non-standard openSource firmware, making these routers harder to troubleshoot for us mere mortals).
But, yes about network name. if you can see the Mac in NetworkPlaces, this is good.
Thank you for clarifying bit-by-bit that the work network and the home network are your own setups, and the they're that identical.
As much information as you can provide is helpful.
I think you're going to find concrete clues to your problems...in the samba logs. it's not really a "test", it's merely looking into the logs during the time ( or finding the times where the connection fails)...and you will find the reasons that the connection fails.
Good luck
