Linux: Connect to H: Drive Personal Network Storage (and I: drive)

To connect to your local Lehigh windows shares (H Drive) from linux follow these steps.  You'll be mounting the windows share as a disk using the mount command.

Step-by-step guide

You'll need to be root to mount the shared spaces.  The examples below show the use of sudo. 

1) Map your H: drive ( home directory )

Replace "abc218" with your actual username in the example below to mount your H: drive ( home directory ).  

$ mkdir /mnt/H
$ sudo mount -t cifs -o username=abc218,vers=2.0 //homefs.cc.lehigh.edu/home/username /mnt/H

2)  For Faculty/Staff, the common space can be mounted with the following commands.  

In this example, replace "abc218" with your actual username, and the "dept" with your actual common department space (eg. a-s/chemistry if you are in the chemistry department)

$ mkdir /mnt/common
$ sudo mount -t cifs -o username=abc218,vers=2.0 //common.cc.lehigh.edu/common/dept /mnt/common
