pw: mkdir '/home': Read-only file system Two issues here: 1) /home does not even exist on my system 2) the users custom home directory location is clearly defined in /etc/passwd Now if I re-mount my mfsroot filesystem read-write, issue mkdir /home, then attempt to issue same command again it creates my users custom home directory (i.e. /d/home/user) Another observation. If I leave the /home directory in place, re-mount my mfsroot filesystem read-only again, then attempt to issue the same command again it works (even though it has a reason now to complain that /home is read-only) >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: _______________________________________________ freebsd-bugs@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-bugs To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-bugs-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
