  • Sol 11.3: /export/home to /home

    From nemo@21:1/5 to All on Sun Nov 13 15:57:33 2022
    I am informed (https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E53394_01/html/E54800/gmfew.html#scrolltoc)
    that home directories in 11.3 are created as ZFS datasets. Furthermore, "useradd -d localhost:/export/home/user -m" will create an entry to
    automount /home/user, or so I thought. This does not happen. When I
    login as user, I am told that /home/user does not exist.

    I am very new to ZFS. Guidance would be much appreciated.

    check /etc/auto_home
    Is there an entry there , something like

    user localhost:/export/home/user

    Does /export/home/user exist?

    Yes to all these questions. I stupidly posted before checking. (In my
    poor defence, it had been a long day and this is a private machine.)

    Thank you.
