Mounting shares

Before following the below instructions, ensure you have been added to the sudoers file or otherwise have root access.

First, you want to update Rocky Linux using the Terminal before any share can be mounted. Open the Terminal and then run the next two commands in sequence. Update Rocky Linux: sudo yum update sudo yum upgrade
Next, you want to create a new directory in the /mnt/ directory to serve as your mounting point for the Windows share. Create the nikhef_share directory: sudo mkdir /mnt/nikhef_share
Finally, you can use the mount command to mount the Windows share to the newly created nikhef_share directory. Mount //ad.nikhef.nl/project on /mnt/nikhef_share: sudo mount -t cifs -o username= //ad.nikhef.nl/project /mnt/nikhef_share If you want to mount a different folder, such as //ad.nikhef.nl/data or //ad.nikhef.nl/user/home/username, you can use the same command, except replace 'project' with your /path/to/folder of choice. Keep in mind that mounted shares are not persistent. You have to repeat this step after every restart.
You can now use the file manager to access /mnt/nikhef_share.
