Hi friends:
I'm managing a workstation where user home directories are mounted
from a NFS server. Sometimes the NFS server goes down
and user gets stuck when she tries to login with ssh. We have a
daemon that periodically checks the health of NFS server. If it
goes down, we'd like to apply the "override_homedir" option to
override home directory string from LDAP into some local directory
like /tmp so that user can still login, despite lack of home
directory.
It seems that whenever I add/remove the "override_homedir" to/from
sssd.conf, I must restart the sssd daemon.
I wonder if I can ask sssd daemon to dynamically reload without a restart?
Or do you have better solution for this scenario?
I would rather explore autofs so each individual home dir is mounted
dynamically, and change autofs to mount a tmpfs instead if the nfs
server is down.
This way you do not change the directory where user files are but just
the mount.
My 2c,
Simo
