I am planning to build a small computation cluster at home. I need share /usr/local and /opt directory on server machine to several computation nodes. There are compiled computation programs and library files in these directories. I hope through sharing (mounted by computation nodes), all nodes can run these programs.



My question is, is autofs good for this purpose? I was told that with autofs the shared directories are only available when it is requested. So if a shared library file is needed for a program on the fly, will it be a problem?



Thanks.
