Hi Andreas
Thanks for your time and replies.
I'll explain further hereunder.
Obviously I was confused on the way bind mount was supposed to work.

Sorry if i was unclear. The mount issue was on the server.

Indeed, it worked flawlessly :)

Sure! I wasn't clear. I meant to mount a directory onto a physical
partiton/volume...
;)

It worked fine this way !
Mount point has now enough space.

I am testing back the other issue with client logins now. I will keep you
informed.
For now on, the same error on the client side (though "mainserver" is
correctly resolved by the client).
Apr 22 00:03:37 workstation01 rpc.gssd[1694]: ERROR: unable to resolve
10.10.12.10 to hostname: Name or service not known
Apr 22 00:03:37 workstation01 rpc.gssd[1694]: ERROR: failed to read service
info

So, I will continue to split config files and check why this doesn't
resolves for rpc.gssd.

Then, when mainserver.intern is added to /etc/hosts, and ..... tadaaaa it's
OK :)

I will further test Debian-Lan and keep you posted.

Regards

Julien
