Mounting file systemsThere are several changes for Mac users that impact on mounting of home drive (U) and shared file systems (S). Previously, the following cifs needed to be mounted: - cifs://elise.ad.adelaide.edu.au/ for shared file systems (S drive)
- cifs://elan.ad.adelaide.edu.au/ for user home drives (U drive)
On the new storage environment, there is a cifs per Faculty or Division which needs to be mounted instead of the single cifs on the old environment. Please review the table below that maps the correct mount paths to the Division or Faculty. | Division/Faculty | New CIFS | Mount Path |
|---|
| VC&P | uofavcp | cifs://uofavcp.ad.adelaide.edu.au/ | | DVCA | uofadvca | cifs://uofadvca.ad.adelaide.edu.au/ | | DVCR | uofadvcr | cifs://uofadvcr.ad.adelaide.edu.au/ | | Services and Resources | uofaservres | cifs://uofaservres.ad.adelaide.edu.au/ | | ECMS | uofaecms | cifs://uofaecms.ad.adelaide.edu.au/ | | Health Sciences | uofadhealth | cifs://uofahealth.ad.adelaide.edu.au/ | | Humanities and Social Sciences | uofahums | cifs://uofahums.ad.adelaide.edu.au/ | | Professions | uofaprofs | cifs://uofaprofs.ad.adelaide.edu.au/ | | Sciences | uofasciences | cifs://uofasciences.ad.adelaide.edu.au/ | | External Organisations | uofaexternal | cifs://uofaexternal.ad.adelaide.edu.au/ |
User home drives are a little bit more complex as the cifs to be mounted depends on the last digint of the user ID. | UID | New CIFS | Mount Path |

Example Student Casey Chambers UID a9400081 will use the following path to mount her home drive. cifs://uofausers1.ad.adelaide.edu.au/users1/a9400081 Staff member Joe Cocker UID a9400085 will use the following path to mount his home drive. cifs://uofausers5.ad.adelaide.edu.au/users5/a9400085 Mac OS XNote: enter the cifs and absolute paths as per the tables above, the entries in the screen shots are examples only.

- Enter 'UOFA' in the workgroup field, '%username%' in the name field as below and your standard password and click 'Ok'
Linux- Make sure the desired mount point exists: ie /home/jcocker/nas
- Add to /etc/fstab:
\\<server full name>\<share path> <mount path> cifs domain=uofa,user=<ad uid>,uid=<uid of local system user>,gid=<gid of local system user>,noauto,user 0 0
e.g. jcocker@desktop:~# echo \\uofausers5.ad.adelaide.edu.au\USERS5 /home/jcocker/nas cifs domain=uofa,user=a9400085,uid=jcocker,gid=jcocker,noauto,user 0 0" >> /etc/fstab - Mount the share:
e.g. jcocker@desktop:~$ mount /home/jcocker/nas
