Greetings fellows Linuxians,
So I finally purchased a NAS not to worry about loosing some kind of data. And I really love this addition. So much that I would now wish to be able to work directly off (and having the same data access) it when working on my LAN from any of my boxes.
In other words, I have 2x desktops and 1x laptop (All running UM latest <3) and my username is standard on all 3. I would then like to move all of my vital dirs (Such as: /home/user/.ssh/, /home/user/Documents, /home/user/Music, /home/user/Desktop/ (and some others)) over to my NAS and then remap all of those over to my 3x systems for when I logging on any of them, we would all of the same Desktop content, alongside Documents, etc.
I will be using the Desktop example to explain my problem. Here is what I’ve first tried:
- mv ~/Desktop ~/Desktop.old
- mkdir ~/Desktop
- sudo mount my.nfs.share/here/Desktop ~/Desktop
When restarting my X session, that didn’t worked, creating (what I believe was) a roaming/temp session.
So then I thought:
- mv ~/Desktop ~/Desktop.old
- mkdir ~/Desktop
- mkdir -p ~/NAS/Desktop
- mount my.nfs.share/here/Desktop ~/NAS/Desktop
- ln -s ~/NAS/Desktop ~/Desktop
That also did not worked out.
Therefore I am now taking the liberty to check out with you guys if any of you also(!) had this very(!!) brilliant(!!!) idea and actually managed to get it working/integrated flawlessly into their restore procedure?
Thanks in advance,
DLS
