-There are three ways to connect to the shares. The simple way is from the ''%%meetnet%%'' PC or your personal desktop. Alternatively you can connect to these shares using an VPN. Both methods are described below. 
  
-=====New setup===== 
-The ''%%data03%%'' storage system has been setup a little different than the ''%%data02%%'' system. The main differences are  
-  * You cannot connect to a PI share if you are not a member of the PI user group. This means that you cannot mount a share from another PI, unless you have been explicitely given the right to do so. 
-  * Each share has its own quota. This way no one can fill up the storage system to such a level that all other PI's are blocked saving their data. 
-    * Upon initialization each PI share has been given 1.25 * (current data02 use). 
-    * If you exceed 90% of your allocated quota, the PI will be informed of this fact by an email from the system 
-  * The Delft server is fully synced with the Leiden server, so there is no true backup facility anymore. The Delft server has a life copy of all data from the Leiden server.  
-    * This mechanism has been chosen because in the past 6 years use of ''%%data02%%'' we have never received a request to restore a backup from data.  
-    * Not maintaining backups, but just a life sync is a considerably cheaper solution, thus allowing us teo have a bigger main storage size. 
-  * The current total storage capacity is about 450TB and can be extended stepwise with 200TB blocks until 50PB...

-Local machine we can trust, but your personal laptop or your machine at home may be connected from Internet so you need to build a secure connection to see the files on the data storage device. This can be done by setting up a VPN connection. +Local machines we can trust, but your personal laptop or your machine at home may be connected from Internet and cannot directly mount the share. To make it possible to mout the share you first you need to build a secure connection. This can be done by setting up a VPN connection. 
  
 To setup a VPN connection see the [[lion:2fa:vpn|How to setup a VPN]] pages. To setup a VPN connection see the [[lion:2fa:vpn|How to setup a VPN]] pages.

 + 
 +=== MacOS === 
 +In Finder, open the "Go" menu and select "Connect to server. Enter the address in the form ''%%smb://data03.physics.leidenuniv.nl/pi-xxx%%''. Note the forward slashes, contrary to the backslashes used on windows!  
 + 
 +After pressing ''Connect'', a window will appear where you can enter your physics username and password. 
 + 
 + 
 +===Linux=== 
 +== From the commandline == 
 +Make sure you are running VPN. Make sure you create the ''%%/mnt/YYYY%%'' directory. Then you can run: 
 +  sudo mount -f cifs -o username=XXXX,domain=PHYSICS //data03.physics.leidenuniv.nl/pi-YYYY  /mnt/YYYY 
 +and you should then see the content of this ''%%pi-YYYY%%'' share in the ''%%/mnt/YYYY%%'' directory.  
 +== From desktop filemanager == 
 +Most Linux desktop filemanagers can make a connection, similar to the Finder on macOS. In ''nautilus'' (Gnome/Cinnamon desktop), this is in the ''Go'' menu, choose ''Location''. Enter the address in the form ''%%smb://data03.physics.leidenuniv.nl/pi-xxx%%''. Note the forward slashes, contrary to the backslashes used on windows!
