I'm planning to setup a multiuser system for our developers in the office. Basically, we will have an NFS server exporting /home. Now, is it more reliable to NFS mount /home on very client machine, or use automounter to automount each users directory? My concerns are: 1) does one method or the other need more nfsd's running? 2) Is one more reliable as far as client machines crashing and causing the server to hang? thanks for any advice.
