NFS is the traditional protocol to connect remote storage and it is easy to
handle.

I don't know which command you issued. Anyway, you wrote:

This appeared to me as a request, to mount some storage besides the common
home from a fileserver.

For NFS, you have to install the package nfs-kernel-server (Debian) on the
file server and create a file (or add an entry to) /etc/exports:

/home2  10.1.1.0/255.255.255.0(rw,async,no_subtree_check)

10.1.1.0/255.255.255.0 might be the subnet for your thin clients, please
adapt to your needs.

This gives the client the right to mount your /home2
With an appropriate entry (see above) in your thin clients /etc/fstab, this
directory is mounted automatically when needed.

In the thin client image, you have to install the package nfs-common.

Helmut
