Hmm, was this forgotten? I don't see anything in the Server admin log on Wikitech, and I can still write to the /home directory.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Oct 26, 2012 at 8:25 AM, Ryan Lane <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:rlane32@gmail.com" target="_blank">rlane32@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

an indirect, automount, which means that all of /home is mounted<br>
rather than directories for each user. I did this in anticipation of<br>
switching to glustefs for homedirs, but specifically I did it in<br>
anticipation of enabling pam_mkhomedir. Today I enabled pam_mkhomedir.<br>
So, if you log into an instance and your home directory didn't already<br>
exist in the project, the instance will create it automatically.<br>
<br>
This is one step towards getting rid of the centralized NFS instance,<br>
which is really small, causes us performance issues, and often fills<br>
up, causing lots of annoying issues.<br>
<br>
Tuesday night (Oct 30) I'll switch the home directories over to<br>
glusterfs storage, rather than the centralized home directories. This<br>
isn't an easy switch. I'm going to take the following steps:<br>
<br>
1. Change the NFS home directories to be read-only<br>
2. Copy each project's data to its private gluster share<br>
3. Change the autofs information in LDAP to point the /home mount to<br>
the private gluster share<br>
<br>
After doing so, instances will need to be rebooted to use the new<br>
mount. Until your instance is rebooted your home directories will be<br>
read-only. After all instances are switched off of NFS, I'm going to<br>
delete the NFS instance.<br>
