[auton-users] NFS on desktops

[Paul Komarek]

Hello,

logo, lime, lark and like have bigpapa access.  As far as I know, loco
does not.  Rebooting doesn't seem to help, it appears the automounter's
illness survives.  If the owners/users of loco would like to have access
to BigPapa, send an email to admin and we'll get it set up for you.

Hello,

Some of the desktop machines that mount NFS from the lab (loco, lime,
loom, logo) are currently unable to access it.  I have corrected like
and lark, but I don't have permission to change the rest.  Sometimes
this is because I am not able to login as root or komarek.root.  For
lime and logo, I can confirm that those machines have a very sick
automount daemon that can (probably) only be fixed by a reboot.

FWIW, like and lark also have sick automount daemons, but I was able to
kill them (unlike lime and logo).  On those machines I mounted NFS
without automount and it worked fine.

I do not have control over people's desktops.  Many of them are
facilitized, which provides extra challenges for my understanding of how
they work.  I will do what I can to help, but I may not be able to do
much.  If you control lime, logo, loom or loco, you may want to reboot
and see if things work.  If they do not work, and you would like me to
fix them the way I did like and lark, feel free to contact me at

Final note -- if like or lark are rebooted, some changes will be
necessary.  Please call me for those changes.
