Hi Verner,
So in that case I would
- set up an NFS server that exports, say /export/<user> - set up NFS mounts on the desktop for, e.g., /extern using the */& keys - for each user, make ~/Documents a symbolic link to /extern/<user>
- Hi list and Peter, - thank you for your input!
- eh...but I've got +250 users on that system. Would this not force me to setup +250 exports on the NFS server??
No, if you export /export on the NFS server, you can mount /export/<subdir> from any allowed host. So you need only one export. And on the client side indeed the wildcard will do the magic, i.e., a user (call him jim) wants to access /home/jim/Documents. This will be a link to /extern/jim, and /extern is handled by auto.nfs which contains the entry * yourserver:/export/& That line will convert your request (/export/jim) to the proper request (yourserver:/export/jim) and mount it on /extern/jim so that jim can access it via the symlink....
- or do you say that this would/is solved by the magic of the */& keys?
