Spigot Use:
To insure everyone who needs access to the spigot computers will have it,
we need everyone to adhere to the following rules:
Copying Spigot Data to an External Disk:
First, be aware that for fastest speeds you should run no data reduction or other programs while you are copying data.
If you are using Firewire ports (by far the fastest option!):
If you are using USB2 ports: To copy data to an external disk, you first must unmount any disks using the port you need. To do this, simply type "umount /mnt/ehdX", where X=1, 2, or 3. Next, plug your disk into the appropriate port and mount your disk with "mount /mnt/ehdX". If your disk is the first to be mounted, X=1. If its the 2nd, X=2 and if its the third, X=3. Having done this, you should now be able to write to your disk (called /mnt/ehdX).
Labeling your hardware: To insure your disks are readily locatable, and that all your various plugs and cords are returned to you, please clearly label your external drives and all cords with your name and a unique number. If you don't do this, we may not be able to guarantee the return of all your hardware.
