Hey,
as we just bought an new server, i moved everything to him, and it seems
to work pretty fine. But now i want to use the spare server as an backup
and their the problems started:
1. How i set up a duplicated nfs server for autofs'ing the home directory?
1. a. How is the best practices to keep them synced? Maybe even with an
backup function for files that got deleted on one of them?
1. b How i redirect autofs to mount the right nfs when one is failing?
As i was researching that and trying out several settings, i mentioned
that i wasnt able to get the autofs central managment by freeipa
running. I had to write the configs to every client. But i am not quite
sure if it wasnt better for the replica settings but also for everyday
use to get an centralized configuration of autofs running. so my second
question would be:
2. How to run an autofs setting in freeipa and how to apply them to an
client?
Pls apoligze my english, it is my third language, and thank u all for
every help u have to offer
Greetings j.
I'm not sure we are the best source for answers for 1a-1c. We provide
only the maps not the NFS service itself.
ipa-client-automount should configure a client to work with the IPA
server-side maps.
