Suppose there is a linux HPC cluster with 100 computer nodes whose users are managed by OpenLDAP. What I want to know is when I create a new user in LDAP, I can mount a specific storage for that user only under his home directory. The idea is equivilent to add a new entry in /etc/fstab when a user is created, but I believe it is not feasible to edit /etc/fstab to acheive this goal. I think an idea way is to have some service that can sync information from LDAP, and when a user is created it should be able to mount a disk according to some predefine rule or script.
