Yesterday, Found an old portable hard disk in the attic. Face lights up. Connect to computer, doesnt work. The connection probabaly fried. Its probabaly the connector, HDD internally uses a `SATA` bus.
I know what to do, lets oopen the server box and connect to the motherboard. Can’t find any SATA cable. `find sata ~house`
Finally hard disk plugged in, `FreeBSD` boots. `dmesg` shows everything is alright, except `ext4`. #sigh
Somebody suggests `fuse`. Alright, thats it then. Compile, `kldld` and booyeah!
Okay, its full of photos from past. Wow! I need to see them, lets share it to something with a monitor. That’d be my mac. `sshfs`? Sorry dude, you need the whole `XCode` suite and should sacrifice an extra kidney to load unsigned `kext`s.
But there are other ways of sharing files. `SMB` FTW!
Why the fuck are there three samba versions in ports. `cd /usr/ports/samba$(random_ver)`
Okay, samba is setup and mounted, tears
Nooo - I can’t access the hard disk. Why? huh perms fucking perms!
I got this! gonna chmod the shit out, but except… it doesn’t work. What the fuck does not implemented mean?
JFGI. JFGI POints to ext4 code - ext4 fuse is strictly read only. (facepalm)
