Unable to use network home directories on a 2nd volume????

[Craig Hopkins]

Hi,

I am having a problem hosting network home directories on 10.4.4 server. Through the help of AFP 548’s instructions I have had them working fine when the users folder is at /users however I would like the data stored on another hard drive for easy backups, etc. But when I set this up I just get the unable to connect due to an error message on the client machines.

I have tried setting up another folder on the boot volume and that works fine so I think the settings I am inputting are correct but as soon as I select a folder off the boot drive I run into problems again.

Any ideas?

Yes it mounts fine

I’m having the exact same problem. I think the root of our problem is that the volume where I want to save the home directories is hosted on a Windows 2003 computer (and shared with ExtremeZ-IP) and I cannot make it “automountable” so WGM doesn’t automatically pick it up.

Anyone know of a work-around?
