LTSP-NFS(8) LTSP Manual LTSP-NFS(8)

NAME

ltsp-nfs - configure NFS exports for LTSP

SYNOPSIS

ltsp [ltsp-options] nfs [-h nfs-home] [t nfs-tftp]

DESCRIPTION

Install /etc/exports.d/ltsp-nfs.conf in order to export /srv/ltsp ($BASE_DIR), /srv/tftp/ltsp ($TFTP_DIR) and optionally /home ($HOME_DIR).

OPTIONS

See the ltsp(8) man page for ltsp-options.

Export /home over NFS3. Defaults to 0. Note that NFS3 is insecure for home, so by default SSHFS is used. To specify a different directory, set $HOME_DIR in /etc/ltsp/ltsp.conf.
Export /srv/tftp/ltsp over NFS3. Defaults to 1. To specify a different directory, set $TFTP_DIR in /etc/ltsp/ltsp.conf.

EXAMPLES

To export only some user homes over NFS3 (insecure) while the rest still use SSHFS, use symlinks as described below. Note that the NFS server doesn´t follow symlinks outside of an export. Start by putting this line in /etc/ltsp/ltsp.conf under the [clients] section:

FSTAB_NFS="server:/home/nfs /home nfs defaults,nolock 0 0"

Then run the following commands:

ltsp initrd  # This is needed whenever ltsp.conf is modified
mkdir /home/nfs
for u in guest01 guest02; do

mv "/home/$u" /home/nfs/
ln -s "nfs/$u" "/home/$u" done ltsp --home-dir=/home/nfs nfs --export-home=1
