Recently, I got a problem mounting my NFS shares. A shortcut to the /Volumes/Public placed on the desktop would mount the volume in read-only mode. A go to /Volumes and selecting the Public link would mount it in read-write.
Things I tried first:
-chgrp to guest, admin, 20 (group where my user is)
-chown to guest, myself, admin
-chmod to 777
Once a volume was mounted in read-only mode, it would only come back on read-write mode after a reboot of the NFS client and following the manual process. It must have been a while like this but it went unnoticed as when mounting from an application (not Finder), it would mount correctly.
I tried rebooting the QNAP (shame on me) but it would not change the mounts without rebooting the client.
So what did I learn so far. All NFS mounts are cached on the client. If you know how to clear the cache without rebooting, it would help me.
I also run nfsstat to find a lot of problems. Compared to some production systems, the number of nfs problems is abnormally high. (I will include some statistics to prove my point.)
People have heard about sharepoint, some people have heard about exchange…. Not difficult to miss if you consider the marketing engine that is behind it. Microsoft is desperately trying to change its business model now that Linux has become an low-cost alternative for people that are not wanting to pay for something that should be free.
The idea behind sharepoint is to tie people into an eco-system that will generate a future-proof eco-system. It took linux years to become ready for the mass market. Now that it is, Windows is only there for specific needs or for the ignorant. The only way windows will survive in the future, is to make it free for the masses.
Now this takes away a revenue stream for Microsoft. So they positioned a new one. Sharepoint is there to surplant Exchange, and to make people dependent.
Here are a few alternatives that already exist on the market (Article on groupwares).

At first sight a good explanation on setting up an ldap on a CentOS machine.
First we start looking at a low profile CentOS machine to activate on my ESXi. Follow these steps:
