Hi all, I had previously found a way to mount the home directory of my tool on Toolforge onto my local Linux machine using a *mount* command. It was so handy that I turned it into a bash alias and used it on the daily. Sadly, due to a hardware malfunction, I lost my machine and my .bash_aliases file with it. I cannot find the mount command anywhere on Wikitech wiki either. Do you happen to know what the command should look like? It is just so much more convenient to mount the drive and use local IDEs to modify code. PS: I promise to add it to the wiki so others can use it Thanks, Huji

Something like that, except I am pretty sure I had to use some additional parameters to handle issues with file permissions and overwrite issues. I think it was *-o workaround=rename *followed by something else. If you happen to know it, please advise. Otherwise, I will try a few different permutations and once I find it, I will certainly put it on the Wikitech wiki. On Sun, Dec 26, 2021 at 1:32 AM YiFei Zhu <zhuyifei1999(a)gmail.com> wrote:

The missing parameter was -o allow_other I documented this at https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Portal:Toolforge/Tool_Accounts#Mount_yo… On Sun, Dec 26, 2021 at 8:49 AM Huji Lee <huji.huji(a)gmail.com> wrote:
