question regarding home directory service and rivanna

[dampierch]

CPHG Member Question (this was a question i submitted to ARCS the other day)

i was attempting to mount my uva hds home directory to my rivanna home directory in order to transfer html documents into my uva hds home directory for research collaboration. i connected to rivanna with ssh, created myweb/html, and tried the mount -t smbfs command, which returned an error: only root can use "--types" option. how do i access home directory services from rivanna?

It is documented on the ARCS storage page. we call it "tiny".

Quoting from storage page section on "Tiny"

This space currently corresponds to the ITS Home Directory Service. It can be accessed as /tiny/mst3k

This space can be used as an additional backup for critical files. It can also be mounted as a remote drive on Windows, OSX, and Linux using the ITS HDS application ("J drive" on Windows). The major limitation is that it is provides only 4GB of free space.
