Nasuni Edge Appliance Initial Configuration Guide 8.3 56
Accessing Volumes Mounting a CIFS Share in Linux or UNIX
If you change the permissions on any of these folders and files, the Nasuni Edge Appliance preserves
your changes. However, new files still receive the default permissions of 444. The owner of each folder
can delete files in that folder.
To mount a CIFS share enter the following command:
mount -t cifs -o iocharset=utf-8, user=<username>,
domain=<domain-shortname> //<filername>/<sharename> /<localdir>
where:
• username is the username to connect as.
• domain-shortname is the shortname (not the fully-qualified domain name) of the
domain.
• filername is the name or the IP address of the Nasuni Edge Appliance.
• sharename is the name of the CIFS share on the Nasuni Edge Appliance.
• localdir is the name of the local Linux directory.
The result of the mount command is to mount the CIFS share in the local directory. Users can then add
data to the volume with CIFS enabled using copy commands.
Tip: You can place the mount command in a script that runs on login and mounts the CIFS share
automatically.
Tip: Depending on the specific operating system, performing the mount might also create a
graphical icon of the export that allows drag and drop and other GUI actions.
To disconnect from the CIFS share, use the unmount command.
