ECE497 Mounting dfs/afs in Linux

You can set up your Linux box to directly mount your afs and dfs files. The Rose-Hulman Linux Users' Group has a nice page with the details.

After installing  I added the following to my   file: sshfs#username@dfs.Rose-hulman.edu:/MyDocs/username /home/username/MyDocs fuse user,noauto,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 0 sshfs#username@dfs.rose-hulman.edu:/Users/Y/username /home/username/dfs-home fuse user,noauto,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 0 sshfs#username@afs.rose-hulman.edu: /home/username/afs-home fuse user,noauto,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 0 You'll have to replace  with your login name. Then create the mount points: cd ~ mkdir MyDocs mkdir dfs-home mkdir afs-home Now you can mount your files by using: cd ~ mount dfs-home cd dfs-home ls You should now see your dfs files. You can unmount using: cd ~ sudo umount
