Storage Information on CS Linux Systems<\/h2>

This page describes various storage facilities provided by LCSR for your use. However, you can use the same technology to set up your file servers or to make files on your server or desktop available from other systems.<\/p>

Note that LCSR is moving toward a few file servers, all accessible from all systems that participate in the LCSR Kerberos system. This includes generally available systems such as iLab systems and most research systems.<\/p>

Note<\/strong>: Our machines use automount, which means the file system is mounted as you access it. To access the non-mounted file system, just cd to it. For example, to access \/common\/users\/$USER,<\/i><\/code> You type: cd \/common\/users\/$USER<\/i><\/code><\/p>
