By default Thinlinc creates an NFS mountpoint of the local drive on the remote host. I would like to avoid creating the shares.
I use the old trick of opening different connections by double-clicking the *.tlclient files.
I found the commands to manually unmount them etc. but I want to avoid creating the mounts to begin with.
Is there a parameter that can be added to the profiles to prevent the mount exports?
I tried this -
NFS_EXPORTS=
but that didn’t have any affect.
I poked around to see if I could find it but never found anything that looked to address what I wanted.
Any info is greatly appreciated

Hi @mscroggi ,
You can disable the mounting of local drives for all users by removing the following symlink on the server:
/opt/thinlinc/etc/startup.d/40-tl-mount-localdrives
To disable it for specific profiles might be a bit trickier. You could try calling /opt/thinlinc/bin/tl-umount-localdrives as part of the cmdline parameter in profiles.hconf. Perhaps something like this would work (example for an XFCE profile):
cmdline=/opt/thinlinc/bin/tl-umount-localdrives && xfce-session
Let us know how you get on.
@aaron Ah thats perfect! Thanks a ton!
tiny tweak - I found the link in /opt/thinlinc/etc/xstartup.d
Works perfectly.
