  • My main career is supposed to be as a team lead in mechanical engineering. Through a lot of unfortunate event I became a full time Python Dev at my last job which I quitted due to lack of recognition. Through similar events I’m now the “official” sysadmin for two companies. Here’s the thing, I love doing sysadmin work, went and got my rhel certs, built a homelab, all that stuff. I’m a Linux nerd to the bone. But FML I’m now stuck rebuilding two whole ecosystems built on top of hyper-v and active directory. I like my job in a sense but I also hate that I’m now stuck being paid in line with the mechanical engineering field while working more on the IT side. Working on my CS degree rn.





  • First thing I’d do is to look at the client (fedora) journal for anything funky happening.

    ‘sudo systemctl status nfs-client’

    Since it’s random I assume you won’t have any timeout in your /etc/fstab but it might be worth taking a look anyway.

    Be aware that if the network drops the NFS will be disconnected and won’t auto-reconnect so this could also be the issue.

    I don’t know if it plays well with container mounted volume, but looking at autofs could be a solution to auto-remount the share. I use it profusely for network mounted home directories.



  • Immutable distros works great when you want them exactly as they come. Anything else is a shit show IMHO.

    As an example, multiple fedora based immutable distros dont have the codecs required to play YouTube videos. You have to either replace the rpm-ostree based Firefox with the flatpaks one or layer ffmpeg over the base system. Both solutions I wouldn’t expect someone without Linux knowledge to be able to do.
