export.hpc.ut.ee

export.hpc.ut.ee is a service meant to export cluster filesystem data to services or users around the University of Tartu. Currently, export offers two protocols: network filesystem (NFS) for Linux clients and Samba (SMB) for Windows clients with the added plan of Amazon S3 compatible object storage in the future

Requesting an export

Samba

Samba shares attach Your working directories to a Windows operating system with the "Add network drive" feature. To request a Samba share for Your cluster use, please contact support@hpc.ut.ee along with a path to Your files and an optional name for the share.

NFS shares are usually meant for static Linux client to access data that kept on the main cluster filesystem.
