Mounting MINIX3 Files

Source Article from Digital Ocean

1. Install MINIX3 onto VMWare
   • Make sure to install the ssh package in MINIX
     • pkgin update
     • pkgin install openssh-5.8.2nb5
   • If you don't have VMWare you can grab it here with your CISE account
2. Grab SSHFS
   • For Ubuntu/Debian: sudo apt-get install sshfs
   • For OSX: Fuse
     • Install both OSXFUSE and SSHFS
   • For Windows: I'd check out this because the steps for Windows are separate than Linux or OS X.
3. Restart Computer
4. Startup MINIX
5. Grab its ip, keep track of it
6. Make a mount directory, /mnt/minix
   • sudo mkdir /mnt && sudo mkdir /mnt/minix
7. Next run the following:
   • sudo sshfs root@minix_ip_address_here:/ /mnt/minix -o auto_cache,reconnect,defer_permissions,negative_vncache,allow_other,volname=minix3
8. If you want to unmount, just run the following command:
   • sudo umount /mnt/minix

where do you make the mount directory? in minix?

do you have to re-mount it every time you restart the computer?
