LIONS Users: Servers and Home Directories Migrating to NFS

Throughout May and June, we are migrating user home directories from the existing OpenAFS servers to NFSv4 storage. Near the end of the process, LIONS web and ftp servers will be migrated as well.

This migration affects existing home directories that begin with either /afs/lions.odu.edu or /afs/pprd.odu.edu. The new home directory path will begin with /nfs. For example, /afs/lions.odu.edu… will start with /nfs/lions.odu.edu… instead.

If you use LIONS frequently or log in to lin-login.lions.odu.edu, you might want to look over your files and folders and clean up any old or duplicate data. You’ll also need to update any non-relative symbolic links in your home directory.
