I had a similar issue but it was caused by an update to the fuse package. I re-added all users to the fuse group and then also made certain that dns was set to use host first so that the thin clients were able to resolve their names. check the size that is reported for the thumb drive. In my case, it was reporting the size of the system's hard drive indicating that the drive was not actually mounted properly. What was happening in that case is that the file was being copied to the $HOME/Drives/thumbdrive-directory-mount-point and not to the actual drive which would explain why you can't see the contents of the drive itself. You could also try use a dns reservation for a client just to determine if that results in the client 'knowing' its name.

It stopped working as of March, leaving me to suspect that an update caused the issue. The behavior is strange. When a student connects a thumbdrive into the terminal, it actually mounts! However, they can't see any of the contents that are presently on the drive. Here's the strange part, they can actually write to the thumbdrive, meaning, create new files and save them. Files created when mounted to the terminal will become visible again if the thumbdrive is unplugged and plugged back in. HOWEVER, as explaned above, any files that have been written on the thumbdrive elsewhere are NOT visible. This makes it hard for students to bring in their homework created on their personal machines into the school. I have gone through the troubleshooting steps using the USB wiki on the LTSP website, and couldn't pass Step 4. Perhaps our problem is here? How can I get the workstation to know the hostname? Step 1: Disable X. N/A. Have shell loaded on second screen. Switched to second screen. Step 2: Determine Version Number. Output is 4.2 Update 3. Step 3: On workstation, lbuscd confirmed running. /tmp/drives/ shows a folder representing the thumbdrive inside. Step 4: hostname returns the output = (none). I suspect this may be our problem. I have however followed the steps in the installation section by adding the line "get-lease-hostnames true;" to the dhcpd-k12ltsp.conf file, but it made no difference after restarting dhcpd and rebooting the terminal. The dhcpd-k12ltsp.conf file at the part where I entered this line is below. get-lease-hostnames true; shared-network WORKSTATIONS { subnet <a href="http://192.168.0.0">192.168.0.0</a> netmask <a href="http://255.255.255.0">255.255.255.0</a> { range dynamic-bootp <a href="http://192.168.0.100">192.168.0.100</a> <a href="http://192.168.0.253"> 192.168.0.253</a>; use-host-decl-names on; option log-servers <a href="http://192.168.0.254">192.168.0.254</a>; get-lease-hostnames true; _______________________________________________ K12OSN mailing list <a href="mailto:K12OSN@redhat.com">K12OSN@redhat.com</a> <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/k12osn">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/k12osn</a> For more info see <<a href="http://www.k12os.org"> http://www.k12os.org</a>> </blockquote></div>
