In order to mount the storage using NFSv4, the computer needs to:
Please check with your department’s IT staff for help with configuring your computer to use the Wolftech Active Directory domain.
Add a line like the following line to /etc/fstab to mount the OIT Research Storage share when the computer boots:
oitrspprd.hpc.ncsu.edu:/rsstu/users /rsstu/users nfs4 sec=krb5p
The local directory used to mount the share can obviously be anything you like. The remote share may be mounted at the /rsstu/users directory or lower.
The directory structure under /rsstu/users is organized by directories named a through z which correspond to PI Unity IDs.
The share can be mapped directly to an individual project directory:
oitrspprd.hpc.ncsu.edu:/rsstu/users/j/jbdoe/some-project
If a PI has multiple project directories, the share can be mapped to the PI’s Unity ID directory such as:
oitrspprd.hpc.ncsu.edu:/rsstu/users/j/jbdoe
Mount all shares listed in /etc/fstab:
mount -a
Run the mount command without any options to view the currently mounted filesystems. Pipe the command to grep to only display the OIT Research Storage NFS share.
mount | grep oitrspprd
You should see a line similar to the following:
oitrspprd.hpc.ncsu.edu:/rsstu/users on /rsstu/users type nfs4 (rw,relatime,vers=4.1,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,namlen=255,hard,proto=tcp,port=0,timeo=600,retrans=2,sec=krb5p,clientaddr=x.x.x.x,local_lock=none,addr=x.x.x.x)
