Mounting

Linux

Mounting Windows (CIFS/SMB) shares on Linux via the commandline is done with this command:

sudo mount -o username=<username>,domain=win,uid=<uid>,gid=1040 <share> <mountpoint>

where:

  • <username>: your DTU username
  • <uid>: numerical id for your user
  • <gid>: numerical group id, set to the default group 1040(unixusers)
  • <share>: network share, eg. //nas1.compute.dtu.dk/groups
  • <mountpoint>: path to mount the share, eg. /mnt/groups

Tip

Get your uid with the command id -u and all with id

Note

You will be asked for your password twice since:

  1. sudo is used as mount with options needs admin privileges
  2. to provide CIFS user credentials
