Introduction

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

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
