[OmniOS-discuss] OmniOS auto_home mounts on /home.... so???

[Fabio Rodrigues]

Hi Steve/Sriram,

 I've used the "auto_home.sh" provided by OmniTI (you can get it from the link below), and I changed the mount point of my "/export/home" from "rpool/export/home" to "mypool/export/home" (obviously, after creating the zfs fs/mount points), then removed the "rpool/export/home".

 Now, all my users are under my zpool and if I add a new user, a new zfs mount point is created (again, thanks to the auto_home.sh changes).

http://omnios.omniti.com/wiki.php/GeneralAdministration#Users 

 If you have a look at the script, you can get easily what its doing.

 I hope this helps...

 Cheers,
 Fabio

 This caught me by surprise too!
 I ended up with the common approach of creating per user zfs file systems under /export/home, modified /etc/passwd to reflect this, and moved on.
 I'm busy moving the Belenix infrastructure from openindiana to omnios, so I didn't invest to much time in this since /export/home where user home folders are usually kept in the illumos world.

 Howdy!

 I installed OmniOS and added a couple of users with useradd and
 home dirs in /home. When I rebooted they were gone. df -a
 shows that something called auto_home was mounted
 on home. So I unmounted /home and of course the home dirs
 are now visible.. I found a file /etc/auto_home that had
 an entry in it and commented it out. Now boots ok... so

 Why did /home got mounted? Is this expected? What is
 the correct way to deal with this?

 thanx - steve
