Basic Info
- Web interface at http://files/
- Can also be accessed via samba/SMB with the standard lvl1 credentials.
- ssh is also possible, but there is no safety check for accidentally deleting files this way.
Setting up on Ubuntu
- Prerequisites:
sudo apt-get install autofs smbfs
- create autofs config files
- /etc/auto.master
/mnt /etc/auto.files --timeout=6000 --ghost
- /etc/auto.files
z -fstype=smbfs,credentials=/etc/auto.auth ://files/shared
- /etc/auto.auth
- (replace CENSORED with the lvl1 credentials)
username=CENSORED password=CENSORED
- run the following:
sudo chmod 400 /etc/auto.auth sudo service autofs restart
- the files share will be mounted in /mnt/z
- to make this easily accessible, run
ln -s /mnt/z ~/z
- Desktop file for adding to menu (place in /usr/share/applications/

Server Setup
File Systems
Device
- Root is on a single drive. Important files are symlinked to the raid array.
- Raid device is /dev/md0
- Do not access this directly
- Check status with
cat /proc/mdstat
- Cache device is /dev/bcache0
- This adds SSD caching on top of the /dev/md0
- Interact with /dev/bcache0 as if it were a disk.
- Mounted on /mnt/bcache0
Samba
- Samba is used to share files and provide a recycling mechanism
- Services like elFinder that access member files use a mounted samba share so that samba can protect files from being deleted
- Config file: /etc/samba/smb.conf
Autofs
- Used to mount the samba share locally
- Config files
- /etc/auto.master
- /etc/auto.files
- /etc/auto.files.auth
- Dir
- /mnt/autofs/z
