How do I make UNC paths work the same on Windows and Unix?
Rush - TD FAQThe trick is to tweak the unix side, using symbolic links or making mount directories that simulate the windows path layout. The best thing is to create the mounts to match the UNC paths. On my network, windows machines see the server's disk as //tahoe/jobs. On the unix machines, I can organize my mount points this way: Or, if your mounts are in a directory like /mnt/jobs and you don't want to change that, you can work around easily enough with symbolic link(s) to make UNC paths work under unix.
