Mounting shares for cluster use

The only thing you really need to do before using the linux nodes on the fi--didelxhn cluster, is sort out any windows shares you're going to want access to. When you log in (or when the cluster logs in as you), your DIDE home directory will be automatically mounted as /media/home. The home shortcut "~" will also point to this. If you want access to other windows shares, then create a file in your DIDE home directory, called .pam_mount.conf.xml containing something like this:-

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<pam_mount>
  <volume options="nodev,nosuid" user="*" mountpoint="/media/f2gsim" path="GlobalSim" server="fi--didef2.dide.ic.ac.uk" fstype="cifs" />
  <volume options="vers=2.1,nodev,nosuid" user="*" mountpoint="/media/nas1gsim" path="Test" server="fi--didenas1.dide.ic.ac.uk" fstype="cifs" />
</pam_mount>

For some reason, NAS1 needs vers=2.1, whereas the other drives don't. No-one knows why.
