[SML] Linux question

[Bryan Manternach]

There are many ways.  But what I do is mount it using NFS (network file system).  The underlying "guts" of everything graphical in Linux is non graphical.  The graphical interface uses many components to talk to files stems and not always the same methods.  Just because you map a network drive in one place doesn't mean other apps know about it.  However, everything seems to know about mounted filesystems.  

Also, your network filesystems may be actually available on the underlying filesystems tree, just not where you know to look.  For instance, an "automounted" network filesystems may be under /net someplace.  Or it may be under /mount someplace.

>From a command line type "df" or "df -k" to see what storage is mounted and the space usage.  That will show you the "mount points" where the file systems are.  Also "df -lk" will only show local disks, leaving out network storage.
