It is very easy to do this mount once you know how.
1. Create the directory which you want to be equivalent to the root directory of the mounted filesystem. On my machine I do this with
sudo mkdir /mnt/mcb
2. Now you are ready to mount the server. I use the following command
sudo mount -t smbfs -i username=friedm,workgroup=mcb //lsdivfs3.mcb.harvard.edu/Maniatis_Lab /mnt/mcb
Of course you need to replace "friedm" with your MCB login and "Maniatis_Lab" with you lab's mame. The document on Mac and PC mounting says that some labs have truncations in their names, so if you have a PI with a long last name try some variants. If you can't figure out the correct directory, just connect using the PC or Mac instructions on a PC or Mac (available at MCB internal website) and scroll down the list of available directories.
