BEA_RES (L Drive)

The lab has PII-allowed UPMC-firewalled file storage through the Office of Academic Computing (OAC). Colloquially, this is the “L drive” as it is mounted to L:\ on Windows PCs.

The directly of the slashes in the address for the file share depends on the operating system. For windows 

\\acct.upmchs.net\oac\bea_res

For MacOS and Linux 

//acct.upmchs.net/OAC/BEA_RES

See mac guide, briefly

  1. Finder → “Go” in top bar → “Connect to Sever”
  2. //upmcid@acct.upmc.edu/oac/bea_res/

Linux

For wired single-user computers, it's worth creating a permanent mount.

/etc/fstab might look like 

//acct.upmchs.net/OAC/BEA_RES        /Volumes/L/bea_res  cifs    users,nobrl,credentials=BEARESCRED,iocharset=utf8,uid=1000,gid=1000,rw,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,noperm 0 2

where BEARESCRED is the the path to a file like 

username=USER_WITHOUT_AT_UPMC
password=PASSWORD
domain=1upmc-acct
