Network Shares

Connecting to the Netapp with UNIX (Samba)

Here are the steps to connect to your shared area on the Netapp if you are running UNIX.

Manually smb mount the user storage area

  1. mkdir /mount   # this will create a folder /mount
  2. smbmount //krystal/home /mount -o username=amazon\\tuser # (substitute tuser with your username)

    If the above does not work, try this syntax (SuSe 9.3)

    smbmount //krystal/home /mount -o username=tuser/amazon

  3. Enter your password
  4. cd /mount
  5. cd tuser   — this will put you into your home directory
