Description of problem: The RHEL 9 desktop documentation does not cover storing user settings over NFS, as its done for RHEL 7 and 8, e.g. https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8/html-single/using_the_desktop_environment_in_rhel_8/index#storing-user-settings-over-nfs_configuring-gnome-at-low-level Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): RHEL 9.1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: not applicable Actual results: not applicable Expected results: not applicable Additional info: The stable version of the GNOME System Administration Guide still mentions the settings for home on NFS: https://help.gnome.org/admin/system-admin-guide/3.38/dconf-nfs-home.html.en Apparently there is no System Administration Guide for GNOME 40.
@msuchane can you please move this to the right component that you're using for documentation bugs/RFEs?
Thanks for letting me know. I'm setting all the metadata to documentation and adding this ticket to our 9.3 plan.
Hey, NFS kernel engineer here -- we're not exactly sure why that doc section originally exists. We're not dconf experts. Is there a way to find the original BZ that created that section?

Is there a way to find the > original BZ that created that section? I've been able to trace the documentation back to its origins. It was written in 2013 for the upstream GNOME administration guide, then copied into RHEL 7, and carried over to RHEL 8. As far as I can tell, these tickets show the earliest reasoning behind the documentation. Luckily, they were listed in the upstream documentation sources: - https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694567 - https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=595579#c40 - https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=670493#c8 Hope that helps.
