Hi,
I have the home directory of a user on an nfs server and mount it on a client. When the user logs in, they end up in the root directory rather than in their actual home directory and need to cd into it.
The user can read and write to their home directory, so it kinda works fine --- but only kinda. When the user starts emacs, some of the settings in ~/.emacs are not applied, but the saved desktop is being loaded.
Both machines are running Centos 7.4. What could be wrong with the nfs mount?
About NFS home directories and CentOS have you .nfsxxxxxxxxx tempory files located in the home of your user ? I have this very often. I was not able to found any documentation about this but if they are temporary files for NFS transactions is there a way to store them on on local client disk area like /tmp instead of a NFS storage? These files are some time difficult (if not impossible) to remove by the user on the client side and stay on the disk... until I remove the oldest ones on the server side.
