it appears that "Enable user home directories" in the SMB/CIFS section DOES NOT refer to the directories configured as user home directories in the Access Rights Management section.
YES it does. Once you enable user home directories in the access rights section, it sets the home directory in /etc/password. This is the same place that samba uses to direct the home share to.
I say this because I configured the "home directories" in the Access Rights Management section to put these directories on the "Users" share, but using SMB to access the NAS shows this location AND a /home location, which appears to be /home on the system drive.
Don't confuse samba home share name and omv home shared folder name. They have nothing to do with each other by name. The both point to the user's folder in /etc/passwd.
From this I infer that enabling user home directories in the SMB/CIFS section means users accessing the NAS via SMB will have access to /home on the system drive, and that this is entirely independent of whether or not user home directories are enabled in the Access Rights Management section.
NO NO NO
Can someone confirm this?
Yes, I have confirmed this in my previous posts. I don't know why you don't believe me. The ONLY time /home on OS drive would ever be used is if you manually create a user. If you enable home directories in OMV and samba and then create the users, you won't have any problems. Do I really have to waste my time creating a video to prove this?
