Hello,
I just need a word of advice on how to structure /home if you use automount, have 5-10 home directory servers (NetApp filers) and around 1000 users.
I'm personally is looking for /home/homeserver-vol#/user-name scheme, so my automount maps will be nice, small and manageble:
#auto_home NIS map filer1-0 filer1:/vol/vol0 filer1-1 filer1:/vol/vol1 ... filer5-5 filer5:/vol/vol5
But it seems like users prefer /home/username scheme and it leads to 1000+ NIS automount map for /home, like
#auto_home NIS map user1 filer2:/vol/vol1/& .... user9999 filer3:/vol/vol4/&
Do you know if there is more elegant solution for this problem? Can you tell me, what is your preference for /home layout?
Thank you.
