At home, my main desktop has the biggest hd in the house and I've shared it out through NFS. It's handy and easy to work with, until I leave the house. I don't mind losing access to the files enough to set up a VPN, but my local NFS client has a tantrum when anything even thinks about the mounted files. For instance, the df command will hang and I can't view the "Storage Media" page in Dolphin to manage other attached devices.
As long as I remember to umount the remote share before I leave the house, there are no problems. Unfortunately, I don't often remember. What I do remember is to put the laptop to sleep before leaving. I think the best way to fix this would be to have the computer umount any remote shares as part of the suspend or hibernate process. Then, if I can have fries with that, I'd love to have it realize if it's at home or not when it wakes up and mount anything appropriate. Maybe based on the ip address that it gets, based on location. Am I doing this the hard way? How do others manage network shares with their portables? I've tried asking Google, but I haven't had much luck. Any suggestions? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NLUG" group.
