Hi, i have a lvm partition that i need to share from the host server to the virtual machines. em1: 10.0.0.251 em2: 10.0.0.252 macvtap:em1 10.0.0.249 macvtap:em2 10.0.0.250 With identical configs (so i believe that they are) from VM win2003 i can ping to all the above IPs and open the samba share as a map drive. I have attached some info on my setup. Plz advice. -- Evaggelos Balaskas - Unix System Engineer http://gr.linkedin.com/in/evaggelosbalaskas
