Hi,

I have tried adding a user on Fn 8.0.2 beta (and 8.0.1) and when I create the user with a home directory like /mnt/array/home/username then it fails but I cant find the logs in FN8.

So I drop to the command line and run adduser, fill it all out, the summary before finally creating the user says the home dir is set to /mnt/array/home/username (the correct path) yet it fails saying /home is read only and fails to add the user.

Yet if I create a user through the webui and leave the home dir as /nonexistant then it works but for me not having a home directory for the user makes having another user pointless...

Cheers
Paul

Same here (8.0.1-beta1).
Workaround: Create user with home dir /nonexistent, create desired home dir manually (I'm doing a chown user /dir afterwards) and then change the user home directory in the webgui.
