Hi, I've read various tutorials but can't seem to get to work what I would like: In my home network I want to have central /home directories so that every user can use any machine and find their environment. I have a few laptops dedicated to users and those users will want a working laptop outside of my home network also but they can accept have only a rudimentary environment. To summarize: - at home laptops should mount /home from a central server - outside home laptops should access /home locally - no synchronisation is needed After some reading I thought this sounds like an autofs task. I defined auto.master: /home /etc/auto.home.nfs auto.home.nfs: * -fstype=nfs server:/home/& +auto.home.local auto.home.local: * -fstype=bind :/home.local/& It works except that the local home directory is always picked over nfs. For my purpose, I want it the other way around. I tried quite a lot to turn it around but couldn't figure it out. Is it possible or is autofs not the right choice for me? Should I approach the whole subject differently? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe autofs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
