Suddenly my automounts don't work... and a hack fix

The server, p64, is debian 11 (bullseye); the client is mac os x (darwin kernel version 23.1.0 Mon Oct 9 21:27:27 PDT 2023. Automounts used to work but somehow stopped, I'm not sure when. I have homedirs on Linux, as /home; I want to read/write the Linux /home as, uh, /home.

After searching frantically, here is something that kinda works. First, on linux:

  • sudo systemctl start rpc-statd
  • sudo service rpcbind start
Then, on mac os, forget about automounting, just do it manually. As root:
mount -o resvport p64:/home /home
and it all works.

I want to figure out the "real" automounter problem, but right now I just want to do what I sat down to do.
