Automount ceph cluster on Thinlinc cluster causing issues

Not ThinLinc

Hey Community,

Our ThinLinc cluster is using AutoFS service to map users storage data to their thinlinc sessions. However, we’ve noticed issues like outstanding “disconnected” user sessions interrupting our ceph storage access. Curious if enabling “browse_mode” in /etc/autofs.conf helps the load on the ceph cluster and maybe remediate this issue. Very clueless on the effects of automounting ceph storage on thinlinc cluster so any shared experiences are greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Unfortunately I’m not familiar enough with Ceph to be of much use here; hopefully one of our community members has some input. What I can say is that mounting user home directories from a central file server is a very common setup in ThinLinc, at least using NFS or similar. I don’t think there is anything in ThinLinc which would prevent it working with Ceph.
