How to test access to your NAS share

For CIFS/SMB

1. Windows-Try browsing using Windows File Explorer using the UNC path. \\oit-nas-fe##.oit.duke.edu\sharename
2. Mac-Try browsing via Finder->Connect to Server-> smb cifs://oit-nas-fe##.oit.duke.edu/sharename. **NOTE** we have seen issues with Mac OSX and using smb for connecting to OIT hosted NAS shares. Please use cifs:// in place of smb:// in the interim.

 

For NFS

1. Login and run df -h and look for a mount with the nas server name in the mount point. Then cd into that mount and do a "ls" to view the content of the share.
2. If autofs is controlling the mount. Login and cd to /net/oit-nas-fe##.oit.duke.edu/sharename and do a "ls" to view the content of the share
