I work part time at a school and we are gradually transitioning over to
SLED10 on some Desktops. My current focus is a small lab used for
teaching Digital Publishing. We are dropping PageMaker/Indesign (too
expensive and support kind of stinks) and going with Scribus - this year
the school newspaper will use Scribus and hopefully if things go well
the yearbook will use it next year.
Right now the problem I am having is to allow the students have access
to their /home directory and the newspaper and yearbook shared
directories. For the past few weeks we have been using NFS /home
directories and I am running into all sorts of errors from locking
problems to "stale" files. This seems to be a problem with the SLES10
implementation of NFS as last year we had no problems sharing the /home
directory across all of our servers.
The mount options I have been using for our /home directories is:
hard,intr,nolock,rsize=8192,wsize=8192
I have also specified the server to only use NFSv3 instead of ver4,
which did help considerably, although some errors still come up
(applications simply die, various error messages prop up, etc.).
So I am looking for suggestions on how other people have tackled the
issue of allowing Linux users access to their network file shares.
Is their any way to do this by using samba without the user having to
"browse" the windows network (it probably needs to be fully automated) ?
Any suggestions would be very helpful.
