| As your data grows in size and as the data is spread over different data stores, it may become difficult to organize and find it later again. Maybe you will even forget about some data stores (homes, projects) you are in possession. Therefore we offer the '''itetstor''' service. This service allows you to see your data stores at a glance. Typically, you are in possession of a home, but you may also keep data on backup servers, have some private data on different NAS servers and - especially - you may have project data in several project homes in which you are a project member. Being a "member" of a certain project means, in terms of the itetstor service, that you have at least ''read'' access on the project home. This read access might be given, because you are the owner of the home, or because you are allowed to access the data via its group rights. Of course, you might also encounter folders you've never heard about before, but they are displayed because you possess access rights on them. | == Links in itetstor == This list typically contains links to * Your personal home directory * The [[Services/NetScratch|net_scratch service]] * The [[Services/DataArchivingNG|personal archive service]] * One or more [[Services/ProjectData|project home directories]] you are the owner or a member of |

| == How does it work? == The itetstor service creates a folder on specific filesystem share, one for each user. This folder contains generated links to almost all storage resources the users possesses. These links are updated (added/ removed) once per day. So if you are missing a folder that has been created today, it won't show up in the itetstor share before the next day. Some special folders (you most probably don't want to see anyway) are never displayed, despite they exist. |

Contents
Overview of your storage locations
The itetstor service provides a list of links to all storage locations you have access to. This list is invidivual for each user, it is updated once a day. If a link appears in this list you have at least read access to the contents of the linked directory.
Links in itetstor
This list typically contains links to
- Your personal home directory
One or more project home directories you are the owner or a member of
The availability of links may be differ depending fom which operating system or rather through which file sharing mechanism itetstor is accessed.
Access itetstor on Windows
Using a managed Windows client
On a managed Windows client itetstor is mapped to drive S:.
If for some reason drive S: isn't available:
Press the keys Windows and r at the same time to open the run dialog
Enter the path to the server itet-stor followed by your ETH username:
\\itet-stor\<ETH username>
Press Enter
Also see the detailled article about mapped drives.
Using a self-managed Windows client
See the detailled instructions for self-managed windows clients.
Access itetstor on Linux
Using a managed Linux client
On a managed Linux client itetstor is mapped to /itet-stor. Your personal directory is mounted there on demand, access it by
listing the contents of your personal directory with
ls /itet-stor/$USER/
or changing your current directory:
cd /itet-stor/$USER
Some storage locations allow read access to a wide circle and write access only to a small group. If you're a member of such a group, use the access method described for self-managed Linux clients below.
Using a self-managed Linux client
See the detailled instructions for self-managed windows clients.
Access itetstor on macOS
- Make sure you're in the ETH network by WLAN, physical cable or VPN connection
Press the keys CMD and k at the same time to open the Connect to server dialog
Enter the path to the server itet-stor followed by your ETH username prefixed with the protocol smb:
smb://itet-stor.ee.ethz.ch/<ETH username>
- Authenticate with your ETH username and password

Important: Changing file permissions with chmod on content of a share mounted via Samba does not work. For an explanation see the page Weirdness of macOS mounting Linux Samba share from our colleagues at D-PHYS. Changing permissions works well while connected to your account through ssh.
