I'm sharing music files from a F8 box using nfs4 and autofs on
the F8
client. It seemed to work well at first, then I realised the mount was
timing out and Rhythmbox was 'losing' the files. I thought to work
around this with a wrapper script that does
cd /server/MUSIC
rhythmbox
I launch the script instead of rhythmbox directly.
By chdir into the served directory I hoped to keep the files visible,
but it seems that they are still lost from Rhythmbox sometimes.
So, am I doing the right thing, or could rhythmbox do more to work
with autofs mounts? Should I be serving up the files differently?
The bottom line is that the fact that the files live on an
automount-managed mount point should be transparent to the application.
Please file a bug against autofs for this.
Thanks!
