Articles about the DartFS storage offering.
DartFS is available via two different protocols: NFS and SMB. Linux can mount DartFS volumes with either but for Linux workstations we recommend using SMB because it is less complicated. Older Linux systems supported only the SMB1 protocol, which is not supported by DartFS for security reasons. This includes RHEL6/Centos6/Ubuntu14 and earlier.
Instructions for configuring SMB mount of DartFS using a keytab (encrypted stored password)
This is probably only useful for a few people outside of ITC.
Use ktutil to create a keytab file containing an encrypted password for use with automated operations with kerberized services (e.g. DartFS or AFS)

DartFS mount from Tuck-domain Windows systems require explicit authentication to the KIEWIT domain.
This is more information about DartFS permissions than most people will ever want to learn.
SMB file servers on the Isilon
Document providing more details about what happens during maintainance on Dartmouth's network file services.
Filesystem rules for SMB protocol apply to DartFS mounted on client computers using SMB. There are restrictions on file naming, and limitations on preservation of file metadata, and potential issues with case sensitivity. In addition, there are filename extensions Dartmouth has chosen to block on the Isilon because of Windows malware.
