I was trying to do preprocessing for RiskTime.01 using bptuil and though it recognized it as a valid experiment, it complained that no exams were found for RiskTime.01.

Since I should have 24 exams for RiskTime.01, I'm not sure what to make of this.

When I tried to manually change directories to the RiskTime.01 directory it said that file access permissions did not allow that action. I don't know if that's related.

You might try reestablishing the connections to your drives. See this post for detailed suggestions on how to re-establish the connections

I tried updating my links with lnshares, then tried the CIFS workaround listed.

Is that what I was meant to do? Neither seems to have solved the problem.

Can you change directories into RiskTime.01 now?

Also when you used the lnshares command - what message did it give you regarding the disk that Risktime.01 is on? Something should have been printed in the command prompt.

Hey all,

Did you do anything to get this to work? I'm curious. So you tried listing the contents of ~/net/huxley/data and then it gave you a 'permission denied?' And then sometime later it worked? Did you do a cifslogin in between (or a cifslogout and then a cifslogin?)?

And has anyone else been having this problem?

Cheers,
Jimmy

I'm having this problem.
1. When I try to get to the Windows directory where my data is by typing
[tankersl@golgi: ~] $ cd ~/net/katz/data/

I get this error message:

bash: cd: /home/tankersl/net/katz/data/: The file access permissions do not allow the specified action.

(I can get into net/katz, just not into data)

2. Then I do:

[tankersl@golgi: ~/net/katz] $ lnshares
/usr/local/bin/lnshares: Current symbolic link okay /home/tankersl/net/gall/docs -> /CIFS/Gall/Docs
/usr/local/bin/lnshares: Current symbolic link okay /home/tankersl/net/gall/source -> /CIFS/Gall/Source

/usr/local/bin/lnshares failed: Cannot create symbolic link!

currently: /home/tankersl/net/huxley/data -> /home/tankersl/net/huxley/data_CIFS

requested: /home/tankersl/net/katz/data -> /mnt/katz/data

3. Then I try

[tankersl@golgi: ~/net/katz] $ cifslogin katz -U tankersl
tankersl's password on katz:
SRV: Bad password

4. I tried the password several times, so that part wasn’t a user error.

5. I’ve tried opening new sessions, and I get the same error messages.

Any advice?

Thanks.

Hi Dharol,

When you identify yourself to the BIAC servers you need to provide your BIAC username and password.
So your command should be this:

cifslogin katz -U tankersley

Try that and see if that works. Also, if you still get a bad password, then try and login to Katz through Windows and see if your password has expired. Let me know how this turns out.

Jimmy

Hi. I'm still getting a bad password, and I've tried

cifslogin katz -U tankersly
cifslogin katz -U tankersl
cifslogin katz -U tankersley

(the second being my user name for Golgi since it only takes 8 letters, the third being my real name).

I don't know how to login to Katz on Windows. I've disconnected the drive and then reconnected it. Is there something else I need to do?

Thanks :)

Hey Dharol,

One of those must have worked because I see you logged in to Katz as tankersley when I do a cifslist.
What I went ahead and did was removed your symbolic links that pointed to the CIFS servers for Huxley, Hodgkin and Katz and instead pointed your ~/net/<server>/data drives to NFS mountpoints instead. We had used that CIFS kluge before because your NFS mountpoint wasn't working.

Now you should be able to run lnshares and have no errors popup.

The end result being that you can now list contents of Huxley, Hodgkin, or Katz without having to do a cifslogin.

For example,
ls ~/net/huxley/data

now works even though you haven't logged in using your BIAC Windows credentials. Keep in mind that this ONLY applies to the Netapp boxes because they support both NFS and CIFS. Servers like Nernst, Gall, or Hall will not work until you provide credentials since they only support CIFS.

Enjoy,
Jimmy

After selecting experiment percept.02, I get the following error message when trying to select an exam:

Enter option (1..8): 3
Checking Func/* for exam matches
Checking Anat/* for exam matches

ERROR! Exams Not Found for Experiment Percept.02!!
Press return to continue...


I'm not sure if this is related to my inability to cd to this experiment in GOLGI or if it is separate.
For the last 10 subjects I've simply transferred all the data to a server that I can access through golgi, but this is becoming tedious.
Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Dharol

Hi Dharol,

Try 'cifslogin' into Goldman. That is the server that Percept.02 is on. The simplest way to test whether or not bputil has access to your Experiment is by listing the contents of the Experiment Location (listed under #1 after you've selected the Experiment). If you don't see anything, get a permission denied, or anything besides the actual contents of the directory, then bputil also won't be able to access that Experiment's data. This will need to be corrected before proceeding.

An Example:
1) Experiment Name Selected.
      Experiment Name => Percept.02
      Experiment Location => /home/tankersl/net/goldman/data/BIAC
[tankersl@golgi: ~] $ ls /home/tankersl/net/goldman/data/BIAC
ls: 0653-345 /home/tankersl/net/goldman/data/BIAC: Permission denied.

A possible solution:
[tankersl@golgi: ~] cifslogin goldman -U tankersley

Jimmy

Hi Jimmy. I've tried the things you suggested, but Imran told me he thinks it's a different kind of problem. Apparently, my password has been booted off of every data server, and I am unable to cifslogin on any server.

Any suggestsions for this?

Thanks,
Dharol
