What would I need to do to convince an average desktop Linux computer (any flavour, let's say i686) to serve a folder as if it were a mass storage device over USB?
ie: I configure the desktop (with, I'm assuming, a USB Host device) and put my holiday snaps in /mnt/fake_drive. I plug a suitable USB cable from my USB Host device into my TV's USB port. My TV recognises a Mass Storage device has been plugged in and starts reading the images on that device, which are actually being delivered by the desktop from /mnt/fake_drive.
Is this possible?
(I should be clear, I'm aware I can share data over a network, I specifically want to fake a USB mass storage link)
