Intro
The BioMicro Center’s computing mission is to support a core set of bioinformatics applications and also to provide advanced computational, data storage, data security and data backup services. From BioMicro Center home page.
Accounts
DNA-NET domain accounts give users access to storage on centrally managed fileservers. Data stored on these servers can be access from multiple operating systems. To get a DNA-NET account, send email to biosupport@mit.edu with subject "new user" and the following information:
- First/last name:
- Athena username:
- Lab PI: Drew Endy
- Department:
- Room number/address: 68-
- Phone number: 617-258-8684
You can check the status of your request at the BioMicro Support Center You will receive a confirmation email when your account is created.
You must login for the first time using a Windows machine. Your username is your Athena username and your temporary password is your username. Your password must be changed on first login to a different password. This should be your Athena password, for uniformity.
Access
In Windows
Drive X: is mapped to your home directory at \\Bionet\endy\homedirs\username
You may want to map drive Z: to \\Bionet\endy to get easy access to the top level of the file share hierarchy.
In OS X
Press Cmd+K in Finder to connect to server. Then type in: cifs:\\bionet\endy
In Linux
Create a mount point:
# mkdir /mnt/bionet
Add the following line into /etc/fstab:
bionet:/vol/vol0/endy /mnt/bionet nfs rsize=32768,wsize=32768,hard,intr 0 0
Mount the file share:
# mount /mnt/bionet
Description of folder structure
- admin - administrative documents

- projects -
- homedirs - home directories of lab members
- .snapshot - an archive of the whole network file share:
- weekly - last week
- daily - last two days
- hourly - last two hours
