You are right, it was my own old habit of creating my own physical directory under /home for stand alone machines that got me confused. But filesystem(5) says: "/home Default root of a subtree for user directories." and useradd:s base_dir defaults to /home, where it tries to create a directory if used only with the -m flag. I know this doesn't work when the automounter is available, but it can be disabled or reconfigured. When i think about it /export/home has been created earlier also, with UFS. It's fun how old things can get one confused in a new context ;) Regards Henrik _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
