Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: autofs5
Install a nfs4 server on maverick. Export /HOME
/etc/export:
/HOME *(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)
Now on all system install autofs, then configure:
/etc/auto.master:
/home /etc/auto.home
/etc/auto.home:
* -rw,soft,intr sto.example:/HOME/&
stop autofs, then clean /home:
service autofs stop
rm -rf /home/*
make sure you have the same uid/gid on all hosts. I took 2023.
make sure you have the same username on all hosts.
start autofs again:
service autofs start
It may be necessary to log off, then on again, to make the system accept
the changes.
cd into your home:
cd /home/username
If all setup was OK, then:
user@zm2:~$ ll

/HOME/user on /home/user type none (rw,bind)
While mount works OK you'll get no useful group and users on any mounted
directory. There are only cryptic numbers shown.
Both users do have write access to files and folders, but not to all files and
folders:
user@zm2:~$ byobu
ERROR: [/home/user/.byobu] is not writable by the current user
user@sto:~$ byobu
on the server (and only there) byobu fires up right away!
user@zm1:~$ byobu
does the same! Only natty does not allow access to certain files and does not
display uid/gid names.
