Home folder empty after a reboot

Everytime I reboot my CH3SNAS my /home/root/ folder is completely empty! No single file is left, even the .ssh folder is gone.

I use fun_plug 0.5.

Is this normal behaviour or am I doing something wrong perhaps?

Re: Home folder empty after a reboot

that's normal for all folders on the ramdisk.
your options are: a) copy files on startup, b) change root's home dir (e.g. usermod -d /mnt/HD_a2/root root)

Re: Home folder empty after a reboot

Thanks for the quick reply!

I tried b) change root's home dir with usermod and it worked, thans smile

I've made following startup-script so that it's done automatically on startup:

Code:

#!/ffp/bin/sh

# PROVIDE: mvhomeroot

. /ffp/etc/ffp.subr

name="mvhomeroot"
start_cmd="mvhomeroot_start"
stop_cmd=:

mvhomeroot_start()
{
    echo "Moving root's home folder..."
    usermod -d /mnt/HD_a2/home/root/ root
}

run_rc_command "$1"

Saved as 'mvhomeroot.sh' in /ffp/start.

Any comments on this one?

Re: Home folder empty after a reboot

I achieved an even simplier solution by modifying the home directories in /etc/passwd and storing these settings to disk via store-passwd.sh

I've tried doing this a few times, and now (while running ffp on USB stick), every time I reboot, the few users I've changed (and saved via store-passwd.sh!!) are reset to /home/ftp... no idea how this is happening?!

Re: Home folder empty after a reboot

I've noticed that behavior, too.  The actual /etc/passwd stored in the flash system is still correct, but at boot time the device changes all the home directories to /home/ftp.  Very annoying.  I had to add a quick sed script to run at startup and correct them.  I suppose it's a "feature" most likely for the built-in ftp server, which makes sense but annoys us.
