# Accessing SMB/CIFS network shares --- The HPC center exports two filesystems as Windows network shares: | local path on cluster | Linux network URL | Windows network URL | |-----------------------|-------------------|---------------------| | /gpfs/mariana/smbhome/$USER | smb://smb.hpc.taltech.ee/smbhome | \\\\smb.hpc.taltech.ee\smbhome | | /gpfs/mariana/smbgroup | smb://smb.hpc.taltech.ee/smbgroup | \\\\smb.hpc.taltech.ee\smbgroup | | /gpfs/mariana/home/$USER | not exported | not exported | These can be accessed from within university or from EduVPN. Each user automatically has a directory within smbhome. To get a directory for group access, please contact us (a group and a directory need to be created). ## Windows access --- From Windows, the shares can be found using the Explorer "Map Network Drive". GUI: right click on myPC add network location or Map network server >>> \\smb.hpc.taltech.ee\smbhome username >>> INTRA\    Powershell: run `net use \\smb.hpc.taltech.ee\smbhome /user:INTRA\` check success with `get-smbconnection` ## Linux access --- On Linux with GUI Desktop, the shares can be accessed with nautilus browser. From Linux commandline, the shares can be mounted as follows: dbus-run-session bash gio mount smb://smb.hpc.taltech.ee/smbhome/ or dbus-run-session bash gio mount smb://smb.hpc.taltech.ee/smbgroup/ you will be asked for "User" (which is your UniID), "Domain" (which is "INTRA"), and your password. To disconnect from the share, unmount with gio mount -u smb://smb.hpc.taltech.ee/smbhome/ gio mount -u smb://smb.hpc.taltech.ee/smbgroup/ If you get "Error mounting location: Location is not mountable", then you are not in the correct network (e.g. VPN is not running), or you don't have a dbus session. On Debian, the following packages need to be installed: `gvfs gvfs-common gvfs-daemons gvfs-fuse gvfs-libs libsmbclient gvfs-backends libglib2.0-bin`
