Introduction

It is possible to get the h: drive mounted on the marvin frontend, but not on the nodes.


Methods

Two tools are used for this: gvfs and fuse

  • a user must be a member of group "fuse"
  • a gvfs daemon must be running under user gdm: the system administrator should ensure this.
  • Script to use is
#!/bin/bash
export $(dbus-launch)
gvfs-mount smb://cfs.st-andrews.ac.uk/shared/med_research/res
/usr/libexec/gvfs-fuse-daemon ~/.gvfs

which can be launched as normal user

Notes

  • gvfs-mount -l seems useless, reports nothing.
