How can I create a auto.home file to mount certain /home directories via local disk and others via NFS?
You should use the autofs package which can do this for you.
In /etc/auto.master, you'd put:
/home /etc/auto.home
And in /etc/auto.home:
user1 my.other.machine:/path/to/user1

I use NFS over wifi all the time. Works great (just a bit slower). Granted, it'll be a whole lot worse for home directories. – Wes Hardaker Mar 23 '11 at 14:18

What syntax do I use in auto.home to mount some home directories via local disk, and some via NFS? – Thomas Vincent Mar 23 '11 at 19:14

for a local disk, use "user1 -fstype=auto :/dev/sdb44" for example – Wes Hardaker Mar 23 '11 at 19:47
