    Default home2 partition for new accounts?

    I don't understand why but now when I create new accounts in WHM it creates them in the /home2 partition instead of just /home as usual. I only have about 15 accounts so far and less than 10 GB. The entire drive is 80 GB. Why is this happening? /home2 is my backup drive also.

    By default, the directory with the most available free space will be used.

    Check WHM>>Server setup >> Edit Setup >> Default Home Directory

    Also check value of "HOMEDIR" variable in /etc/wwwacct.conf
    Either Zero Or Hundred...

    Don't dig up year old threads for this.
