nbdsrvr for win can be found at
http://www.vanheusden.com/
however nbd readme says
Do *NOT* share partitions/files that are already in mounted/in use! It
is
almost for sure that corruptions will occure???
-is that what 'cannot' meant
and would it make difference if there would be only 1 PC accesing the
remote share ?
When I say "cannot", I really mean "should not" - and the OS should
hopefully enforce that limitation. The rule is that only one writer
should ever have low-level access to a partition (or file used as a
block device - that's the common usage for nbd). You can have multiple
read-only connections at a time, but if you try to allow two different
file system drivers to write to the same partition, you are guaranteed
chaos and corruption.
Another idea might be using running locally and remotely dd command
for win- perhaps that could go through smb
(and after copying dd to mapped share it could be started via telnet
because above mentioned psexec expects it on remote in c:\windows
which is not accessible)
The trick is to use "psexec \\remoteserver cmd" to start a remote
command prompt - a poor man's telnet. But if you have a telnet or ssh
server on the remote machine, use that.
