Dear list members
Several times a day we have interrupts up to 30 seconds. This is
quite annoying. We have learnt from the mailing list that others had
the same problem. This might be because we have the users home
directory automounted by nfs first and than shared by samba. As
almost everybody has their physical home directory on the same server
we do not need local automounts, we could share them directly with
samba. I.e. instead of homedir -> nfs -> samba we'd like to do the
following homedir -> samba.
The problem is that we cannot get this working properly. We have the
information stored in NIS and according to the documentation we can
just use %p for the path for the homes. When users are logged in and
we restart smbd than smbstatus shows us corret SharePaths. But when a
user logs in the homedir for this user is automounted to /home/
<user>. In the share definition for [profiles] the variable %p cannot
be used at all.
Is %p not working properly or do we use it not correctly? How could
we achieve direct samba sharing of homedirs without nfs mounts but
with the information stored in NIS? Thanks for any kind of advise.
Kind regards,
Marc
