to Vlaltteri: -------------- As you can see from the previous post I see the home directory mounted via sshfs.
The server has multiple users which I want to distribute to several clients. The login screen on the client shows a prompt for user-name (and later for the password). (I'm not sure if this is what you want to know.) However, I'm able to login for different users. I've tried LOCAL_APPS_EXTRAMOUNTS=/mnt/home2 which sounds really promising. Unfortunately, the additional mount-point is not visible after a reboot of the client (and the server). Do I have to rebuilt the image first? The symlinks within /home/truth are visible also on the client side. However, the symlinks point to a mount-point which does not exist, e.g.: VirtualBox VMs -> /mnt/home2/truth/ Any further suggestions? to Helmut: ------------- As far as I understand LTSP is able to use nbd or nfs - however, running LTSP-PNP on kernel 4.3 seems to allows only nbd (see https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=786925) Nevertheless, even if nfs would be possible I would prefer to not mix to many filesystems. For that reason I would prefer to first follow Vlatteris approach ...
