SuSE Linux: Version 8.1
mkdir -p /home-local/user/.gconf /home-local/user/.gconfd
Give write access for user by command:
chown -R user:users /home-local/user
If directories exist use command mv:
mv /home/user/.gconf /home/user/.gconfd /home-local/user/
Then create symbolic links by command:
ln -s /home-local/user/.gconf /home-local/user/.gconfd /home/user/
(home-local for directory with write access for user; user for user name)
Note: Directory /home-local/user/.gconf contains configuration of Gnome. You must have actual copy of this directory on each computer which you will use.
With NFS3 you can solve this problem by correct configuration of lock daemon (locks enabled in fstab and nfslock service running on both client and server)
