| 07:15 | <fiesh> alkisg: for what it's worth, our clients used NFS3, and after endless frustration I figured out it came from fsid=0 having a new special meaning in NFS4 that made our /etc/exports incompatible with NFS4. After fixing that and having the clients use NFS4 instead of NFS3, it so far appears to have become stable again!
| |
| 07:15 | <alkisg> fiesh: cool, although I don't remember if you're using overlayfs or not
| |
| 07:17 | <fiesh> hah I never know what that means ;) our mounts are all NFS underneath, plus tmpfs on top of that for the things that need to writable by the client
| |
| 07:17 | <alkisg> If your tmpfs is set up by ltsp, it's probably using overlayfs
| |
| 07:17 | <fiesh> I'm praying it stays stable now, it got so bad everything crashed several times a day
| |
| 07:17 | <alkisg> If you have some manual solution, I don't know
| |
| 07:17 | <fiesh> it is
| |
| 07:17 | <alkisg> Which distro/version did you say that was?
| |
| 07:17 | <fiesh> it's the "original" gentoo ltsp
| |
| 07:18 | <alkisg> I don't think knipwim ever managed to make overlayfs work
| |
| 07:18 | <fiesh> which already was somewhat defunct when I set it up, and that was... 3 years ago?
| |
| 07:18 | <alkisg> I think he was still using bind-mounts
| |
| 07:18 | <fiesh> oh, that sounds right, yes
| |
| 07:18 | <alkisg> You'll have issues using recent ltsp versions :D
| |
| 07:19 | <fiesh> yeah I cannot really update any more ;) however, it's going quite well, I can update our clients' system easily using gentoo's portage, and the ltsp scripts work fine, so no need to touch them

| 17:30 | <sutula> Is the lts.conf LOCAL_APPS_EXTRAMOUNTS variable the place to add remote filesystems that need to be present for fat clients?
| |
| 17:30 | Or is there a newer/more supported way these days?
| |
| 17:30 | <alkisg> That's the one, yup
| |
| 17:31 | <bennabiy> what is the format for that?
| |
| 17:31 | <alkisg> !lts.conf
| |
| 17:31 | <ltsp> lts.conf: (#1) http://manpages.ubuntu.com/lts.conf, or (#2) lts.conf manpage is available in the ltsp-docs package
| |
| 17:32 | <sutula> alkisg: Is the "directory" some subdirectory of the server?
| |
| 17:33 | <alkisg> sutula: you put the full path there, and it gets mounted with sshfs from the server to the same location on the client
| |
| 17:34 | <sutula> OK, so full server path, but not the actual server name, right?
| |
| 17:34 | <alkisg> /path/to/dir
| |
| 17:34 | No hostnames involved
| |
| 17:35 | <sutula> awesome, thanks much!
| |
| 17:35 | <bennabiy> alkisg: but is that for fat client or thin client?
| |
| 17:35 | or both?
| |
| 17:35 | docs only says thin
| |
| 17:35 | <alkisg> fat and thin with localapps
| |
| 17:35 | <bennabiy> and he asked for fat
| |
| 17:35 | ok
| |
| 17:35 | where does it mount to on the client, same dir?
| |
| 17:36 | solpyro has left IRC (solpyro!1f355076@gateway/web/freenode/ip.31.53.80.118, Ping timeout: 260 seconds) | |
| 17:37 | <alkisg> Yup
| |
| 17:38 | <bennabiy> good to know
| |
| 17:38 | is there a way to do the reverse, as in mount a directory from the thin client to the server?
| |
| 17:38 | like semi-remoteapps style
| |
| 17:39 | <alkisg> ltspfs
| |
| 17:40 | It mounts the usb sticks from the client to the server
| |
| 17:40 | <bennabiy> Is there a reason it will not work with certain larger hard drives?
| |
| 17:41 | <alkisg> If they're connected via usb, sure, otherwise you'd need to set some udev rules for that
| |
| 17:42 | <bennabiy> They are USB, but not working
| |
| 17:42 | only certain drives
| |
| 17:42 | and I understand on some, like encrypted drives, but others it still won't do either
| |
| 17:43 | <alkisg> I'm not sure I understand, if you're talking about some ltspfs bug, you can report it on launchpad
| |
| 17:48 | <bennabiy> if I can get a reproduction of the error, I will
