Mounts Overview
What are Mounts?
A mount attaches an external object-storage location to a Yeedu cluster at a path under /mnt.
Once a mount is attached to a cluster, jobs and notebooks executing on that cluster can read the
data at that path. Mounts are read-only. We display the Mount Read Only control on the mount form checked
and disabled, with the hint "(read only — cannot be changed)". There's no read-write mode in
v2.10.1.
You don't enter authentication on the mount itself. A mount references an existing Credential Config created in Settings ▸ ADMIN ▸ Credentials.
Supported storage types
The Storage Type dropdown offers exactly these four options, in this order. Each one determines the label and expected format of the URL field, and the type of Credential Config the mount can reference.
| Storage Type | URL field | URL format | Credential Type used |
|---|---|---|---|
| Custom S3a Storage | Bucket URL | s3:// or s3a:// | Custom S3a Credentials (OnPrem) |
| Google Cloud Storage | Bucket URL | gs:// | Google Service Account (GCP) |
| ADLS Gen2 | Storage Account URL | abfss:// | Azure Service Principal (Azure) |
| Amazon S3 | Bucket URL | s3:// or s3a:// | AWS Access Secret Key Pair (AWS) |
Mounts list page
Navigate to Settings ▸ ADMIN ▸ Mounts
(/tenant/<tenantId>/settings/mounts?page=1&limit=20).
The page heading is Mounts. The toolbar on the right holds a Search By Mount Name box with a search icon, and a + Mount button.
The table has the following columns. Every column except Actions is sortable.
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Mount name. Links to the mount's edit page. |
| Storage Type | One of the four storage types above. |
| Source | The bucket or storage-account URL the mount points at. |
| Mount Point | The path under /mnt where the storage is mounted. |
| Encryption Type | Encryption type recorded for the mount, or - when none. |
| Created By | Username of the creator. |
| Created Time | Creation timestamp, with a relative time beneath it. |
| Actions | Row menu (⋮) with Edit and Delete. |
Delete is disabled for users holding the User or Can Manage Cluster tenant role.
The footer pagination control offers page sizes of 20, 40 and 100 rows.
When the tenant has no mounts, the table body shows an illustration, the text "No mounts found." and a second + Mount button.
Encryption Type is shown on the list and, as a disabled field, on the mount edit form. The create form exposes no Encryption Type control, and how the value is derived is not documented.
