Access MOGON Filesystems w/ Linux
The filesystems of MOGON can also be mounted under Linux. In this article we explain how to mount the GPFS and Lustre filesystems of MOGON.
Despite the shutdown of MOGON I you can mount all shares described here.
Overview
GPFS (Home/Project)
Host:mogonsmb.zdv.uni-mainz.de| Share | |
|---|---|
| <username> | Home directory |
| project | Project directories of all groups except those that have a seperate share (atals,icecube,na62,tronhpc,jgu-cbdm) |
Lustre (Project/Scratch)
Host:mogon2smb.zdv.uni-mainz.de| Share | |
|---|---|
| scratch | Lustre scratch filesystem |
| project | Project directories of all groups except those that have a seperate share (atlas,icecube,na62,himexp,lattice) |
Virtual Private Network
If you are located outside of the University Campus, you first have to create a VPN connection as explained by the ZDV in this article.Access your MOGON home directory
- Open a
Shell - Use
gio mount smb://<username>@mogonsmb.zdv.uni-mainz.de/<username>
to access your home directory.
- After you have submitted the command, you will be asked for the domain. Confirm the
UNI-MAINZdomain with Enter. - Now you will be asked to enter the password for your JGU account.
After this you should see the contents of the folder in your file manager, e.g. Dolphin
Chances are, that some gio versions will show
Domain [WORKGROUP]: rather than Domain [UNI-MAINZ.DE]:. In this case try entering UNI-MAINZ manually (without the .DE-string). Check the workging of your VPN, first.
Access shares
gio mount smb://<username>@mogonsmb.zdv.uni-mainz.de/<share>
or
gio mount smb://<username>@mogon2smb.zdv.uni-mainz.de/<share>
e.g.:
gio mount smb://<username>@mogonsmb.zdv.uni-mainz.de/project gio mount smb://<username>@mogon2smb.zdv.uni-mainz.de/scratch gio mount smb://<username>@mogon2smb.zdv.uni-mainz.de/project
Access the Share via Shell
You can found the share under the following path:
/run/user/<uid-number>/gvfs/smb-share:server=mogonsmb.zdv.uni-mainz.de,share=<username>,user=<username>
you can use tab completion once you are in the folder /run/user/.
If you are not sure which uid-number you have you can check it calling id <username>.
Open in Terminal
Alternatively you can open the file manager of your OS, browse to the mounted share, right click on a folder and then onOpen in Terminal.
