• In order to complete the following instructions, you must first create a NAS space.
• For detailed instructions, refer to Creating Your Space on the Virginia Tech Network-Attached Storage (NAS) in Windows 2000/XP, Mac OS X or Linux (http://answers.vt.edu/kb/entry/2113/).

To access your Virginia Tech NAS space:

1. Open a terminal.
2. At the shell prompt, type: cd /mnt
3. At the shell prompt, type: ls
4. At the shell prompt, type: mkdir storage.vt.edu
5. At the shell prompt, type: mount -t smbfs -o "username=hokies[Your Hokies ID]/hokies" //storage.vt.edu/ [Your mystore location] /mnt/storage.vt.edu
   Notes:

   • Replace [Your Hokies ID] with your Hokies ID.
   • Replace [Your mystore location] with mystore or mystore2, as appropriate. To find your mystore location, see Determining the Location of My Storage Space on the Virginia Tech Network Attached Storage (NAS). (http://answers.vt.edu/kb/entry/3029/)
   • If you receive a "listening" error, ignore the message.
   • If you receive the error message "session setup failed: ERRSRV - ERRbadpw (Bad password -name/password pair in a Tree Connect or Session Setup are invalid.) SMB connection failed" or one similar to it, use the following command instead: mount -t smbfs -o "username=hokies[Your Hokies ID]" //storage.vt.edu/[mystore location]/mnt/storage.vt.edu/

6. At the Password prompt, type your Hokies password.
7. To view your directory on the NAS, type: ls /mnt/storage.vt.edu/[Your Hokies ID]
   Note: Replace [Your Hokies ID] with your Hokies ID.
