After spending quite some time troubleshooting years ago, I chopped up the odd NFS disconnection once every month or two to random network errors. Autofs looks like it’ll work but my bandaid solution was just to add a mount command to the NFS share in cron every 5 minutes. Took me 15 seconds and haven’t had to look at it since.

Quite the contrary, I’d redo the tests for RED or OPS in a heartbeat. The fact that require potential invitees to put forth a bit of effort to join generally weeds out the people who aren’t going to put in the effort to maintain their account or ratio.

Spent maybe 1 hour reading the training material for both sites. Passed OPS first time, RED second. Maintaining a good standing on either will generally be enough to get you into anything else.

I was a denier for a few years too until I just sucked it up and made an attempt. Couldn’t pay me enough to switch back now.
