This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_0058_01C07D50.A0852570 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit All- I have a server with a /home directory that I NFS-mount on my various other workstations. I recently added a laptop computer to the mix, as another workstation, and it too is set up to mount my home directory. I would like to be able to mirror my server's home directory on the laptop, so when it is not connected to my LAN, all of my files are available. Then, when it is reconnected to the LAN, I can mirror it back to the server. I would rather not mirror it manually, if possible. Ideally, I would like files automatically updated on the local /home directory, when I write them to the server. If this is not possible, then I will have to rsync the directories or something similar. Does anyone currently face this problem, and have a workable solution? I would appreciate any suggestions.
