When Mirzam can’t be ssh-ed or even locally logged into (usually after reboot), thuban2 dirs are not mounted

When Mirzam or Canopus can’t be ssh-ed into (usually after reboot), probably /home and other dirs shared by thuban2 are  not mouned:

/home and other NFS volumes exported by thuban2 probably aren’t mounted.

 

They should have automounted when mirzam was rebooted because they’re listed in /etc/fstab.

The fix is to login as root (which does not require /home) and then run the ‘mount -a’ command.

Joel adds:  One needs root’s password in order to pull this off! Also after talking with Dan, Aug 2026, I realize that this is done on the client that I can’t log in to; eg canopus or mirzam. Note that Dan suggested sudo mount -a -t nfs (where ‘t’=type), once again on the client eg canopus or mirzam.

Note that the list of thuban2 dirs to be mounted is on canopus or mirzam at /etc/fstab, and that
/usr/share/astro on thuban2 is actually /usr/share/astro_centos7
