8.1 Network File Server

8.1.1 Instructions for mounting network file server on your own machine

For sharing certain files, especially larger data files, the project uses a 200 GB Premium network file server (NFS) hosted by UVA Information Technology Services. This network file server is pre-mounted on the project virtual machine, making the files available to all team members. If you are doing your work on a VM, you are all set: you don’t need these instructions.

It sometimes can be useful to be able to access the NFS directly from your own machine, outside the VM. The instructions here tell you how to mount the NFS on your own local machine.

Credentials and network access: To access the NFS, you must be a member of the ceps-cleanenergyva group registered with UVA ITS. If you encounter a permissions issue when trying to access the NFS, check mygroups.virginia.edu to confirm you are a member of ceps-cleanenergyva; if you are not, contact Chloe Fauvel Chloe, David Hill David, or Arthur Small Arthur to request you be added. To access the NFS, you must be logged on to the UVA Anywhere network. If you are off-Grounds, you will need to access the UVA Anywhere network using a VPN. If you are physically on Grounds, you should have access automatically.
