IMHO, this is quite normal, and the simplest solution...
However, I created a file named ltsp_localdevs which lists the ltsp
clients, and the pattern of localdevs that the client should be able to
use/mount, e.g.:
client1:(floppy|cdrom|hda[5-6])
then I modified the /usr/share/ldm/rc.d/S10-delayed-mounter script to
check which entries in /var/run/ltspfs_fstab matches that pattern, and
to invoke ltspfsmounter for that entries through the ssh tunnel as invoked
by /lib/udev/add_fstab_entry for removable media.
It works for me, but I am not sure whether the code and procedure is
compatible with the recent ltsp release, so I have not published it.
If this algorithm provides a considerable feature then the pattern should
be integrated in lts.conf (e.g. instead of LOCALDEV = [Y|N] it could be
LOCALDEV = [Y|N|some_pattern_as_above] which can be defined per client
basis, too), IMHO.
