Which FILESERVERS you are currently using
If you want to find out which fileservers you are currently using for
the lockers you have attached, you can type
add consult
wherefs
This will print out a listing like:
RVD packs `e40-vssys' are on host chiroptera.MIT.EDU
NFS locker `username' is on host themis.MIT.EDU
File /afs/athena.mit.edu/contrib/sipb is on host ARTEMIS.MIT.EDU
and so on, for each of the remote filesystems you have attached. If you
have a locker on a fileserver that is scheduled to go down, you should
detach it beforehand, so you do not encounter delays while trying to
access files.
If your own locker is on the fileserver that is going down, you should
save your files promptly, and then log out. If you want to continue
working, copy the files you want to work on directly onto the
workstation your using, with the following command:
cp filename /usr/tmp
before you log out. Then, when you log in again ON THE SAME WORKSATION,
you can
cd /usr/tmp
and continue working on those files. In order to save the work from
/usr/tmp, mail the file to yourself with this command:
mhmail yourusername < homework.file
Then, the next time that you log in, you can "inc" your homework assignment
and save it into a file in your own locker.
