Home Directory Prefix

[makersky]

Hello,

We have problem with 'Home Directory Prefix' feature in WHM. It's set to 'home' and as it's written in help it should allow creation of new accounts everywhere where 'home' is in the name of directory:

'Examples: home matches /home, /home2, /newhome, /usr/home, /anythingwith/homeinit'

We are now short of storage on our server so we have to use /var partition for a moment. I've created /var/home but it does not show in menu in Rearrange Account page. What am I doing wrong ?

TIA.

do you mount /var/home as a mount point or only setup it as a folder beneath /var?

 

[makersky]

no, it's only folder, I've even tried to make symlink to /home3 (/home and /home2 are already present in my system), but it did not helped.

It has to be a mount point. If you only create a directory it won't be used. Only mount points are checked agaisnt the HOMEMATCH value.

so it seems that only solution for this is to make (dd) big a file in /var, then format it as a filesystem (mkfs) and mount with loop option.

thank you.
