Linux or macOS shell: Connect to Ceph (or R-Drive)
Note: Try this only if the 'gio method' doesn't work.
Linux users may need to adjust these steps for their particular distribution and / or command environment.
The first steps were tested in Ubuntu 14.04 using a user in the administrators or 'sudo' group. In the instructions '<username' refers to your Lehigh username,
- Since the Ceph server uses Windows-style file sharing, you'll need to make sure that the 'cifs-utils' package is installed on your system, which contains the client software needed for such servers:
- $ sudo apt-get install cifs-utils
- Next, create a folder in your home directory to act as the mount point for the share on your file system, and mount the share to it:
- $ cd ~
- $ mkdir ceph
- $ sudo mount.cifs //rdrive.cc.lehigh.edu/<username> ~/ceph -o username=<username>,domain=AD
- At the prompt, enter the password for your Lehigh user account.
The next steps were tested in the Terminal app in mac OS 10.10 (Yosemite):
- $ cd ~
- $ mkdir ceph
- $ sudo mount_smbfs //<username>@rdrive.cc.lehigh.,edu/<username> ~/ceph
- When prompted, enter the password for your Lehigh user account.
To DIS-Connect:
- Make sure all files from the share (in the ceph directory) are closed.
- Move the shell focus out of the ceph directory (cd)
- cd ~
- Unmount the share:
- umount ~/ceph.
