Mounting EOS and CERNBox via FUSE on an unmanged CentOS machine¶

The CERN Service Portal has a guide for that.

Mounting TN Resources on GPN and Other Machines¶

To be able to run the GUI or CBNG seamlessly from computers which are not in the technical network, it might be useful to mount /user, /nfs and /eos via sshfs using the following recipe:

1. Create mountpoints and symbolic links (only once)

mkdir -p ~/mnt/user && ln -nfs ~/mnt/user /user
mkdir ~/mnt/nfs && ln -nfs ~/mnt/nfs /nfs
mkdir ~/mnt/eos && ln -nfs ~/mnt/eos /eos

1. Mount network resources (repeat after timeouts and restarts)

sshfs username@cs-ccr-dev3.cern.ch:/user/ ~/mnt/user
sshfs username@cs-ccr-dev3.cern.ch:/nfs/ ~/mnt/nfs
sshfs username@lxplus.cern.ch:/eos/ ~/mnt/eos

1. If outside of the GPN, jump through lxplus to mount dev3-folders:

sshfs username@cs-ccr-dev3.cern.ch:/user/ ~/mnt/user -o ssh_command='ssh -t username@lxplus.cern.ch ssh'
sshfs username@cs-ccr-dev3.cern.ch:/nfs/ ~/mnt/nfs -o ssh_command='ssh -t username@lxplus.cern.ch ssh'

sudo fusermount -u ~/mnt/user
sudo fusermount -u ~/mnt/nfs
sudo fusermount -u ~/mnt/eos
