If /home is on NFS, then ltpfs fails with an error about a stale NFS handle. The attached patch mounts in /mnt/localdev and links ~/Drives to /mnt/localdev/$USER
Created attachment 5259 [details] [review] diff against /usr/sbin/lbus_event_handler.sh from LTSP 4.2
I'd need more info to help with this. I do know that ltspfs works just fine mounting under NFS on Debian Sarge, and Ubuntu Breezy, as this is how I use it at work. Which NFS server are you running? A userspace server, or kernelspace server? The kernelspace one ties in with VFS just fine, and should interact with ltspfs no problem.
>Which NFS server are you running? A userspace server, or kernelspace server? I use the systems' default NFS servers, and I assume those are kernelspace. NFS Server: Trustix 2.2, Linux 2.4 NFS Client: Fedora Core 5, Linux 2.16 Perhaps the problem is when I tested it, the NFS server did not having nfslock running. (Now nfslock is running, but right now, I don't have time to test.)

(Now nfslock is running, but right now, I don't have time to test.) Hi Guys, I have the same issue. If the users home dir is on NFS, we host our home folders on a IBM AS/400 V5R3 system, then we get the following error "Unable to make the fifo: Unknown error 524" but if the user's home dir is on the local system it works great. Thanks Richard Houston
Turning on nfslock did not help, but enabling no_root_squash fixed the problem. However, no_root_squash is not always good, so I'm still hoping the patch (or something like it) will be merged. Also, I now believe my NFS servers are actually kernelspace.
