Action

To connect to research storage for a lab group from a computer with Ubuntu Linux, follow the steps below.

Instructions

The following has been tested with Ubuntu kernels as old as 4.13.0-45-generic on Ubuntu 16.04.1. In this example, we're using mesalab, which is hosted on the NetApp.

Ensure cifs is installed by running `sudo apt-get install cifs-utils`
Create a directory for mounting the lab folder by running `sudo mkdir -p /network/rit/lab/LABNAME`
Mount the share by running `sudo mount -t cifs -o username=NETID,vers=3.0 //169.226.65.171/SHARENAME /network/rit/lab/LABNAME`

SHARENAME will likely be LABNAME, LABNAME_rit, or LABNAME_arcc . If you're unsure of which SHARENAME to use, check with arcc@albany.edu
