createhomedir – folders on a different volume

[treehuger]

I’m having some issues creating home folders for users on Active Directory using the command createhomedir. It seems the command only wants to look at the startup volume and create a folder there for home folders. For example, one OS X server I use has two partitions, one called LeoHD and the other called LeoStorage. I want user home folders on LeoStorage under the folder “HomeFolder”. I can create an OD user account and point it to that sharepoint with zero issues, however, when I run the createhomedir command it will see the AD users and create a folder called “HomeFolders” on the startup volume (LeoHD) and then populate the users home folders.

From previous reading that I can not recall it seems that I may need to create a symbolic link. Any ideas?
