Note

to change user access

  1. find /projects/NS9048K -uid ##### -type d -exec chmod g+rx {} \;
  2. find /projects/NS9048K -uid ##### -exec chmod g+r {} \;

'#####' må erstattes med den enkeltes uid (finnes ved å kjøre kommandoen 'id' ) og deretter vil 1) finne alle mapper denne eier og åpne for lesing. 2) gjøre tilsvarende med alle filer.

Eventuelt chmod -R g+rwx mappenavn chgrp ns9048k -R <mappenavn>

Mounting the disk

Windows

Short version

Install ssh windows tools and use the disk letter: W https://github.com/dimov-cz/win-sshfs/releases

Step by step procedure:

install dokan 0.7.4 https://github.com/dokan-dev/dokany/releases/tag/v0.7.4

install sshfs 1.5.12.8 https://github.com/Foreveryone-cz/win-sshfs/releases/tag/1.5.12.8

  • open WinSshFS.exe

  • press Add

  • Drive name: NIRD

  • Host: login.nird.sigma2.no

  • Port: 22

  • Username: username - NIRD username = UiO username (?)

  • Password: password

  • Drive letter: W:

  • velg Virtual drive X:

  • /projects/NS9048K/

  • on the left side you can now fill in information

  • Mount at login: choose for your self

  • Mount FOlder: leave blank

  • Proxy Type: None

press Save and then Mount - your drive should now be mounted

WinSshFS.exe must be placed in the Startup folder in order for norstore to be mounted at startup

Mounting on Linux

You may want to test the connection to Norstore first (replace uiousername with your username at UiO):

ssh [email protected]

To mount the disk on Linux, you need to install SSHFS and mount our project folder on Norstore to /media/norstore.

sudo mkdir /media/nird/
sudo chown $USER:$USER /media/nird/
sudo apt install sshfs
sshfs [email protected]:/projects/NS9048K/ /media/nird/

Remember to replace "nird_username" with your username at NIRD and also use your NIRD password.

Mounting on MacOS

# Create a folder in $HOME folder (if it doesn't exist)
mkdir ~/.local
mkdir ~/.local/bin

# Add the line below to the file ~/.profile (or similar file):
export PATH="~/.local/bin:/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH"

# apply changes
source ~/.profile

# set up a little executable script that will create the command "mount_nird" to mount nird as the 
# folder $HOME/nird.
printf '#!/bin/bash\nmkdir $HOME/nird\nchown $USER $HOME/nird\nsshfs -o defer_permissions [email protected]:/projects/NS9048K/NORSTORE_OSL_DISK/NS9048K $HOME/nird' >> ~/.local/bin/mount_nird
chmod +x ~/.local/bin/mount_nird

# to unmount nird, simply type:
umount ~/nird

# NOTES: the procedure may require that you install sshfs first, try doing that using e.g., homebrew or macports
