I will say use samba. It is easy to setup. Same as you setup in HP-UX.
Or export that partition.

I don't know what happen. I have attached one big pdf file and submit answer it did post it.

Anyway. I am typing one more time
Go to www.samba.com. Very good site.
use book. I have book in .pdf format 8MB. If you want that tell me your emil address and I will send it to you.
When you configure samba on server you can use server's disk from client as well as your client's local disk.
Samba setup is really easy if you are not on very restricted environment.
