For some reason, I wanted to export the filesystem root (/). When trying to mount the local drives, this is what happened: > $ tl-mount-localdrives -v > Running ['/opt/thinlinc/libexec/tl-mount-personal', '-o', 'mountport=4914,port=4914,mountvers=3,nfsvers=3,nolock,tcp', '-o', 'fg,soft,intr,actimeo=2,rsize=524288,wsize=524288,timeo=50,retrans=1', '-n', 'localhost:@otp:301bedb08e4fe77af4a4db0c8fc3b536', '/var/opt/thinlinc/sessions/cendio/1/drives/'] > mount.nfs: mounting localhost:@otp:301bedb08e4fe77af4a4db0c8fc3b536 failed, reason given by server: No such file or directory So, tl-mount-localdrives strips the any trailing slash from the path to be mounted, and when the path to be mounted is a single slash, it happily removes that too. While it's easy to count the number of slashes, the next problem is that tl-mount-localdrives is trying to mount the exported filesystem root '/' on $SESSIONDIR/drives/ - on top of any other mount, which leads to later mounts failing (unless you're root on both client and server) and earlier mounts being overshadowed. So we'd have to introduce some kind of translation layer here, and with that you risk mount conflicts. Not sure if tl-mount-localdrives or the client already has ways to work around this.
